Choosing Resilience
Learn how to navigate challenging times with greater resilience, and bounce back more easily. Taught by Feldenkrais Trainer David Zemach-Bersin.
Help for balancing lifeâs challenges with your need for recovery
Â
Â
Our involuntary nervous system has two aspects that work together in a balanced way. In response to a stressful or threatening situation, our sympathetic nervous system takes the lead, puts us on alert, and prepares us for âfight, flight, fawn, freeze.' Then, after the stressful situation is over, our parasympathetic nervous system steps in and takes over, allowing us to relax, rest, and recover.
But what happens when we experience stress for an extended period and we find ourselves feeling tense and depleted, long after the stressful time has passed? A sustained sympathetic stress response is exhausting, and can also cause problems for our heart, breathing, muscles, posture, sleep, digestion, circulation, vision, and emotional well-being. And more generally, a prolonged sympathetic stress response causes inflammation and inhibits our ability to learn and heal.
This program will help you reverse the dynamics of nervous system dysregulation and learn how to bring yourself into a calm ârest and restoreâ response, anytime you like. Youâll feel more comfortable in your body and your mind, come what may.
The lessons are accompanied by a âNeuro-boosterâ â a short movement sequence that you can use to support and integrate your progress. The boosters will help you to start your day, check in during breaks, and get a restful sleep at night.
