My Services — Trish Sullivan

Mindfulness & Movement

My Approach

The core of my teaching is enabling clients/students to lean into their own self-authority and to connect with their body & breath, in the present moment, as a vehicle for insight, healing and transformation. I like to offer bite sized education alongside an in-depth embodied experience to illuminate how the body, brain, and nervous system interact and how mindfulness based practices (like yoga, breathing, awareness of emotions and their physical location in the body) can help us to feel less stuck and to experience greater freedom in our lives. It’s a bottom-up approach to health and well-being.

Tuesdays | 9:30-10:30 am

Flow (All Levels): a slow-moving mindful yoga practice designed to cultivate present moment awareness and resilience in the body and mind. I offer a weekly theme which is integrated into the practice and can serve to support you throughout the week (e.g. getting grounded, finding balance, moving with grace, cultivating compassion). All levels are welcomed and options are offered to encourage individual adaptation and empowerment.

Upcoming Workshops

Mindfulness and Somatics for emotional resilience

6 weeks, February 1 – March 8 2023
Wednesdays 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Cost: $ 250.00

Given the chaos of the past few years many of us are understandably feeling a little out of sorts. For some it might be a subtle feeling of unease while others may have more specific “symptoms”. Neuroscience and the study of trauma show that chronic and traumatic stress can get “stuck” in the body/nervous system and show up as pain in the body, difficulty staying focused, rumination, agitation, social anxiety and overwhelm. Unreleased stress might also be experienced as a feeling of sluggishness or a lack of motivation*. While this is “normal” it is important and possible to recognize the body’s signs/symptoms and to engage in some practices that can help us begin to feel better.

Mindfulness and other somatic (body-based) practices can help us to release tension, stress and move our system back into a more regulated state*. In this workshop we will engage in practices to begin to bring our mind, bodies, and beings back into regulation, to build resilience and well-being.

The practices and principles that will be covered include:

Emotional regulation, the nervous system, the window of tolerance
The neuroscience of mindfulness and how it can change your brain
Simple practices to incorporate into everyday life = grounding techniques, movement, walking, breath practices for calming, mini-meditations and more.
Creating an action plan for mindfulness and stress release in everyday life

This course is informed by my training in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Trauma Informed Yoga and Somatics and is suitable for all bodies and beings. Please reach out for scholarship, pay what you can or other options as no one will be left out.
