What to expect:

Join this 90-minute practice dedicated to nervous system restoration, facilitated by Kylie Gillin. With many hours of specialised training in nervous system regulation and Polyvagal theory, Kylie creates a safe and invitational environment for nervous system rest and restoration.

The session opens with 15 minutes of mindful mobilising movement to prepare your body to pause in restorative shapes aimed at your parasympathetic nervous system, held between 4-6 minutes. Throughout this invitational practice, you'll be offered vagal nerve breathing techniques to support your autonomic nervous system regulation.

This practice by candlelight supports your body's innate capacity for healing, repair, and restoration.

The studio is fully equipped with all necessary props, though participants are welcome to bring their own.

Location: The Wellbeing Studio 3/102 Clifton Crescent with free parking available at both Brear Park entrances

Duration: 90 minutes

Cost: $35 

What to bring (optional):

• Your own props if preferred
• Comfortable, warm layers

What to expect:

• Sessions may begin with a short mindful yang sequence before transitioning into yin shapes held for 3-4 minutes

• No hands-on adjustments - the facilitator remains on their mat, practicing alongside you

• Develop interoception - your ability to notice your internal world, including physical sensations, emotions, and energy states

•  Explore shapes that target areas where stress and tension tend to accumulate

• Learn to work with your energy body, strengthen the mind-body connection

• Psychoeducation will be integrated to deepen your understanding of the nervous system

This series emphasises autonomy and agency. You decide how much or how little to engage in each shape, honouring your body's innate wisdom. Invitational language is used to create a safe environment for your personal exploration.

A balanced nervous system supports the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (ventral vagal state), which is the state we need to be in for rest, digestion, healing, and maintenance.
