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

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 restSmall, 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.About Kassandra:Kassandra is a trauma-informed yoga teacher, breathwork guide, and Harvard-certified lifestyle & wellness coach who blends nervous system education with accessible mind–body practices to help people sleep better, ease anxiety, and feel grounded.Links:Rewire Your Nervous System in 7 Days (Free Guide)The 14-Day Nervous System Reset YouTubePinterestInstagramThe Calm LabSubstackMy Apple Music PlaylistLinkedInIf The Calm Lab is helping your nervous system, the best way to support is to:★ Rate and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify ★ Share an episode with someone who needs it ★ Subscribe so you don't miss the next oneThank you for being here. — Kassandra 🌿The Calm Lab by Namasté Your Life, LLC recommends that you consult your physician regarding the appl...
