Somatic Movement for Stress & Anxiety — Seated Nervous System Regulation Practice for Anytime


Listen Later

Feeling calm? Have a question? Send me a text:)

This 12-minute bedtime practice moves through a gentle full-body sequence designed to help your nervous system gradually downshift before sleep. We begin seated with neck rolls and spinal twists, move through wide-leg and butterfly forward folds, then flow into a side-lying hip and hamstring release with a supported backbend — finishing in stillness with hands resting on the body.

Nothing is forced here. The practice is slow, breath-led, and completely adaptable to however your body feels tonight.

What you'll experience: Neck rolls and seated spinal twists → wide-leg forward fold → butterfly fold → side-lying hip and hamstring release → supported backbend → grounded rest

Small, consistent practices like this add up. Each time you move through a sequence like this, you're giving your nervous system evidence that it's safe to soften — and over time, that signal becomes easier and easier for your body to receive.

Blankets and pillows welcome. Move only as far as feels good.
