Details
Are you experiencing one or some of the following?
🌿Feeling sad and low on energy
🌿Feeling overwhelmed and stressed
🌿Difficulties sleeping
Try somatic exercises to get out of your head and regulate your emotions!
This is not a fitness practice but a mind-body practice.
Bioenergetic exercises were invented in the 1950s by a psychiatrist and therapist Alexander Lowen who was influenced by classical psychoanalysis but felt something was missing - the body.
It reacts to stress and trauma by getting tense, even painful. We feel stiff and disconnected from our feelings, even numb.
The movements are simple and designed to help you understand your feelings and regulate them. As a result you can manage stress, anxiety, or low mood better.
Join me for the next workshop of bioenergetic exercises in Zurich! We meet in a cozy studio near Triemli station. Space is limited to 7 participants.
You get one hour of theory plus two hours of gentle exercises and group discussion.
Think of it as building your own mental resilience workshop that you can use in moments of sadness, overwhelm, or stress.
Note:
- If you have a history of psychotic episodes, difficulties managing anger, then workshop may not be the best, individual therapy is better.
- If you take antipsychotic medication, it's also not the best for you.
- If you have epilepsy, it's also not the best format for you.
- If you are pregnant, it's better to wait a few months after the baby comes.
- If you are very sensitive to loud noises, please note that people sometimes scream during these workshops to express their emotions.
- Depression or many other mental health concerns are not contraindications but for the workshop setting you should feel stable (with medication and/or therapy), these exercises may be a good addition to talk-only therapy but best to consult with your therapist or psychiatrist first.
- If in doubt, message me about your particular situation.
