Stress hides here | Somatic Reset - Video

Hi Beautiful Friends ????
Today’s practice is a gentle somatic yoga and nervous system reset designed to help you release stress, jaw tension, neck tightness, shoulder pain, chest constriction, and emotional tension stored in the body. Through slow somatic exercises, fascia-focused movement, vagus nerve stimulation, breathwork, and mindful mobility, we create the conditions for your body to shift out of protective stress patterns and into regulation, softness, and ease.
If you’ve been carrying tension in your upper traps, clenching your jaw, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in fight-or-flight mode, or dealing with shallow breathing and stiffness through the neck and shoulders… this practice is for you.
Together we’ll explore:
✨ Somatic exercises for neck and shoulder tension
✨ Jaw release and TMJ relaxation techniques
✨ Fascia release for the upper body
✨ Nervous system regulation and vagus nerve stimulation
✨ Gentle chest openers for stress and anxiety
✨ Emotional release through mindful movement
✨ Deep relaxation and grounding
This is not about forcing flexibility or pushing through discomfort. Somatic movement helps us reconnect from the inside out — creating safety within the body so tension patterns can begin to unwind naturally.
Whether you’re looking for stress relief, emotional balance, posture support, trauma-informed movement, or a calming somatic yoga flow to regulate your nervous system, I hope this practice leaves you feeling lighter, more connected, and deeply supported.
If this practice resonates with you, please comment below and let me know how you feel afterward ???? Your presence here means so much.
With love and gratitude,
Namaste,
Rebekah
