Zebra Care: Somatic Reset is 8-week, 16-session SomaYoga series. This experiential practice is designed to remember a felt sense of safety and expand your window of tolerance.
Who is a Zebra? All are welcome. This work is specifically styled for people experiencing migraines of any sort, hypermobility spectrum disorder or related dysautonomia- which includes a galaxy of conditions. No diagnosis is required to participate, but please consult your care provider before beginning this, or any, new fitness routine.
With somatic neuro-fitness, it takes about 8-weeks of consistent and curious somatic (voluntary, cortical) practice to shift the underlying default mode in the autonomic nervous system (involuntary, sub-cortical). After that, Zebra Care is like brushing your teeth. If you take a few minutes to wipe away stress on the regular, it's less likely to cause other problems.
This Somatic Reset includes:
an introduction to the subtle landscapes, structures, and functions of your amazing body/mind
a low-load neuro-fitness process for resolving habituated tension and developing agency and trust from within
16 live practice sessions offered online
Lifetime access to the practice recordings
8 live office hours to meet directly with the instructor

Please only register for this series if:
+ You are willing to commit to twice weekly practices (live online and/or recorded). The work works- but only when we do it.
+ You are willing to tolerate some short-term discomfort to relieve long-standing chronic pain cycles. Healing and learning requires us to move out of the familiar.
+ You are willing to complete a pre-series intake and post-series follow-up questionnaire
Why should you consider this Self-care program?
Because self-care is not optional and your nervous system is begging for re-assurance. Because we are neuro-plastic until the day we die- if we choose to be. And most importantly, because you are worth the effort of reclaiming comfort and function.
What to Expect:
experience the profound power of restorative breathwork
learn how to cognitively relate to your inner wisdom
remember what safe state feels like in your autonomic nervous system
use somatic NRE (neuro re-education) to reduce acquired stress reflexes and compensations
safely mind-map functional movement patterns in low-load situations
develop strategies for reducing the frequency and intensity of occurrence, while increasing the length between flare ups
build your unique toolbox of neuro fitness self-care practices
This is neuro-fitness, NOT high-load, fast-paced or complex physical fitness. Practices can be modified for any individual, and are well-suited to people managing chronic pain, as well as nervous system and connective tissue disorders.
Bonus: We heal and learn in community….
