Somatic Support Initiative for the Work Place: Part One
What does stress look like for you?
Using somatic supports during the work day can elevate stress, burnout and anxiety. Learn how to take longer breath, practice self-regulation skills through awareness of sensation/lack of sensation, inhabit your body with intention.
“ It was a great experience, and I look forward to talking again in the future. You have a very calming influence, and really, just taking the time to breathe and sit with things made a difference in the way I feel, even now, after our conversation has ended. I really appreciate that.

“Breathing is something we do all the time. Elle helped me learn to use it as an indicator and then as a means to take a pause. I have done just that during meetings - taken a pause silently - taken the opportunity to re-centre, gather thoughts, jot a few points down, then launch back into debate with focus and energy.”
“The joke was on me, I used to tease Elle about that “yoga” thing she does... During a business gathering she turned to me and challenged me to come in for 30 minutes. I thought, ‘I have nothing to lose but 30 minutes.’ What I’ll say is this, DO IT!’ I’ve never known calm like that.”
