What we’re about
This group offers a monthly space to explore gentle, science-informed mind-body practices that support stress, anxiety, and nervous system overwhelm. Each session blends Somatic Experiencing®, somatic yoga principles, and applied neuroscience to help you reconnect with your body, steady your mind, and understand your stress responses with more clarity and compassion.
The purpose is to provide a calm and supportive environment where you can slow down, regulate, and learn tools that genuinely make a difference in day-to-day life.
Anyone who experiences stress, anxiety, tension, feeling “stuck” in their body, or simply wants a more grounded relationship with themselves is welcome. You don’t need any experience with yoga or somatic work – the sessions are gentle, trauma-informed, and accessible to all bodies and all levels of emotional readiness.
These sessions offer a quiet moment of nervous system support in a world that often feels too fast, too demanding, or overwhelming.
You’ll learn mind-body tools drawn from neuroscience, trauma physiology, and somatic therapy – practices you can take with you into daily life. Groups are intentionally small to help you feel safe, seen, and able to participate in a way that feels manageable. For this reason, booking ahead is essential - as this isn't a drop in session.
Sessions are facilitated by Emily Kennedy-Barnes – Mind-Body Neuroscientist, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, and Somatic Yoga Therapist.

Somatic Sessions for Stress & Anxiety: Monthly Mind-Body Reset in Hove
Tree of Life Centre, 143 Portland Road, Hove, BN3 5QJ, GBTake a mindful pause in your weekend and join us for a gentle, restorative Somatic Session – combining principles from Somatic Experiencing®, Somatic Yoga, and Neuroscience-based nervous system regulation.
These monthly sessions are designed to help you reconnect with your body, release held tension, and find a sense of steadiness and calm from within. Each class is trauma-informed, science-backed, and accessible to all – no prior yoga or somatic experience needed.
We explore how the body can become an ally in moments of stress, using slow movement, breath awareness, and grounding techniques that support your nervous system to shift out of survival mode and into ease.
Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the group intimate and supportive, allowing time for reflection, integration, and a deep sense of connection. For this reason, booking ahead is essential - as this isn't a drop in session.
