• Soft Return

    If you've been holding it all, emotionally and in your body - is it time to reconnect to softness?

    A 2-hour somatic workshop exploring breath, pelvic floor, and the nervous system connection

    “Emilie helped me feel more in control, less apprehensive and to know what to expect, so I could navigate a calmer way through - knowing how to listen and respond to my body.” - Alice

  • Does this sound familiar?

    • Always putting others first.
    • Not having time to pause.
    • Scrolling rather than resting.
    • Feeling a little disconnected from your body or your self.

    You might also be experiencing:

    • areas of tension in your body
    • pelvic floor symptoms / sneeze wees
    • back pain
    • rubbish sleep

    If you're craving a little space for yourself, this might be just the thing.

  • What we’ll explore:

    In these 2 hours we’ll explore the connection between breath, nervous system and pelvic floor.

    It’s literally breathing space.

    Time to land in your body with some guided mindfulness, experiential anatomy and movement to help facilitate kind curiosity.

    The shape of the session:

    - Opening circle
    - Guided body awareness

    - Franklin Method Embodied Movement

    - Pelvic Flow

    - Relaxation

    - Closing circle

    What this isn’t:

    • Diagnostic or based around fixing
    • No kegels
    • No bracing
    • A fitness class
