Anxiety & the Body: Becoming Unstuck is an experiential four-part series exploring how stress and anxiety live in the mind, body, and nervous system. Through accessible psychoeducation, guided reflection, breathwork, somatic practices, gentle movement, and practical at-home tools, participants learn to recognize their own patterns and develop a more compassionate, embodied response to stress. Each monthly class stands alone while building toward a personalized approach to regulation and resilience.
