deep relaxation principles, to build your understanding of how your body holds
tension, and how to effectively relax and let go.
• Throughout the workshop we focus on increasing your awareness of the physical
and emotional signs of tension, and offer a range of techniques for preventing the
onset and build-up of tension and stress.
• The workshop explores methods for increasing awareness of the body-mind
relationship and the way our emotional states can influence our physical body
(and vice versa).

• A clearer understanding of how to recognise and release physical tension.
• A range of effective techniques for rapid relaxation and stress reduction.
• An opportunity to reflect on how your body and mind experience and process stress and tension; how to use the body, mind and breath to promote relaxation.

Testimonials:
“Really good balance between physical and mental techniques. The guided relaxation
sessions were really helpful and I will definitely be using them in real life. Also, really
interesting to learn how different postures help with relaxing.”
“I think the idea of combining body and mind is the key and to exchange the two practices
worked really well.”
“I really enjoyed it. Even though I’ve done CBT a few times, studied sleep hygiene,
mindfulness etc, it’s great to have more tools...Thank you both so much! A really worthwhile
Sunday evening!”
“Was good to get guidance on doing these things myself – much better than a podcast or
trying to piece things together on my own. Thanks!”
“Really interesting to hear bits about how to apply these actions to real life. Thanks – was
great!”
