Workshop 1 — The Language of Emotions: From Tension to Trust
Sunday 1 March 1.30-3.30 PM € 10
In this first workshop, we explore how the mind and body work together to shape our emotional world. Through a blend of movement, breath, and evidence-based cognitive tools, you’ll learn practical ways to recognize, name, and regulate emotions in real time. Drawing inspiration from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindful embodiment, we translate insight into experience discovering how shifting the body can calm the mind, and how reframing thoughts can ease tension in the body.
You’ll be introduced to simple, take-home techniques such as thought journaling, emotion mapping, and grounding practices that can be used beyond the studio to support balance in daily life.
Rather than aiming to “control” emotions, this session invites you to work with them — to listen, to move, and to cultivate a sense of steady inner trust.
Theme: Understanding and regulating emotional energy.
We begin with the body — learning to notice how emotions manifest as physical sensations and energy. Through breathwork, grounding movement, and gentle self-inquiry, participants explore the full spectrum of emotional experience without judgment.
Methods & Practices:
- Emotion Regulation techniques (naming, accepting, processing emotions)
- Gentle yoga flows for grounding and emotional release
- Reflective writing on emotional triggers and needs
- Partner sharing for emotional resonance and empathy
Key Outcomes:
- Recognize personal stress patterns and emotional cues
- Learn body-based tools to regulate the nervous system
- Build trust in your emotional landscape as a guide, not an enemy
