Here’s what we offer:
Welcome! My name is Elena, and I’m the creator of Back to your Body.
I believe that the journey to true healing and fulfillment in life starts by reconnecting to our body. It is by coming home to ourselves and understanding the inner working of our nervous system that we can start feeling empowered and make healthier choices and decisions in life. There’s no way to rush and to force this process, though.
So let’s take it slowly, one step at a time!
Yin Yoga offers time and space to slow down, release physical tension and calm the mind. Explore the beauty of passive stretching: gently opening, compressing and twisting the body to feel more relaxed and expansive.
Mental-health-informed Yin Yoga is all about creating a nourishing and safe environment where you can be fully present with yourself. It empowers choice and self-inquiry and lets YOU be in control of your experience!
When your energy level is too low, strength or fitness exercises may be completely out of the question, especially if you are dealing with severe fatigue. But there are still ways to work on your body very gently – the key is to find the type of exercise that works best for YOU, be it gentle yoga, Qigong, stretching, or maybe just mindful breathing.
The length of these exercises and time intervals are equally important! We’ve taken these factors into account when creating our video series with qualified teachers that will carefully guide you throughout the class.
The feelings and sensations associated with overwhelm, restlessness and even anxiety originate in the instinctual part of our brain. These responses are spontaneous – this is how our autonomic nervous system communicates. And the best way to regulate these responses is by engaging the body.
So here we’ve compiled a collection of extra resources that you can use to build a toolkit of grounding practices that you can access anytime!
