When you have anxiety, so much attention and energy goes into managing potential outcomes, and we can become stuck in our heads. Sometimes it feels like life is always sending a wave at us (it is!), and our systems feel ill-equipped to ride those waves. We wouldn’t try to control the ocean, but sometimes we think we can control the instability of life itself. The stabilizing practices were designed to help us surf the waves of uncertainty and change that all humans have to navigate. Through these practices, we begin to create a more flexible nervous system, leading to a more spacious, joyful life.

Each session is 60-75 minutes long and may include:

• Movement for Trauma, including dearmoning, balancing, and strengthening work

• Yin and Restorative yoga

• Qigong

• Other yoga practices to either downshift or safely activate the nervous system

• Meditation including japa, tonglen, walking, yoga nidra, eating and other mindfulness techniques

• Marma massage - Ayurvedic acupressure

• Intuitive Reiki

• Breathwork, including yogic pranayama techniques and elements of Buteyko breathwork

• Strengthening and activating physical practices to help increase your capacity for stress

• Ayurvedic lifestyle tips for managing anxiety, including lifestyle guidance and daily routine

• Customized home practice suggestions

• Forest bathing / all seasons nature immersion

SCHEDULE YOUR SESSIONS

If you're new to Sliding Scale, here is a very informative piece on Sliding Scale as a Tool for Economic Justice.

Sliding scale is not a sale, and it requires you to be honest about your economic status, though we do not require any documentation of your financials. By paying the amount that is commensurate with your economic status, you are acknowledging that we heal together, that collective healing is just as important as personal healing.

I have space for 4 very low cost clients per year. Please inquire if you would like access to these practices and feel that you’d qualify for this offering. Low cost clients must commit to at least three sessions on a pre-planned schedule.

Sessions can be held for individuals, couples, and small groups of 4 or fewer. Consider finding friends to come and play with you and split the cost! When we come together to practice, we heal together.

Sessions are held on Tuesdays and early Sunday morning at Abide Larchmere, and Fridays and Saturdays at Abide West (Willow Room Studio) in Lakewood.
