Nervous System Reset Norfolk | A Class for Deep Rest & Recovery
Without us knowing, most of us operate in a constant state of low-level stress, always switched on. The nervous system stays in a subtle state of alertness, even when there’s no immediate threat. Over time, this can quietly impact almost every aspect of how we feel disrupting sleep, slowing digestion, lowering energy levels, and affecting our mood, focus, and ability to feel grounded in the moment. We may not always notice it happening, but the long-term effects build up. Without regular rest and regulation, the body forgets how to switch off and that state becomes the new normal.
This class is designed to gently guide you out of fight-or-flight and into a calmer, more regulated state. Through a blend of slow, supported movement, sound therapy, and guided meditation, we’ll help the body and mind drop into stillness. Each part of the class is intentionally crafted to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, the part responsible for rest, digestion, healing, and recovery.
No experience is needed. This class is for anyone feeling burnt out, anxious, overstimulated, or simply craving deep rest.
WHY IT WORKS:
SLOW MOVEMENT AND DEEP STRETCHES, paired with conscious breath, help to unwind physical tension and guide the nervous system into a more regulated state. As you breathe slowly and move intentionally, your body begins to send signals of safety to the brain, shifting you out of fight-or-flight and into a state where true relaxation becomes possible. Over time, this helps retrain your system to recognise rest as safe, not something to resist.
QUARTZ SOUND BOWLS work through vibrational frequency. As they resonate through the body, they help to quiet mental activity and reduce nervous system arousal. The tones encourage your brain to shift into a slower, more restorative frequency known as theta - a state linked to deep relaxation, creative insight, and nervous system repair. Sound bypasses the thinking mind and works directly with your energetic and emotional state, creating space for release without needing to process through words.
GUIDED MEDITATION builds internal awareness and supports emotional regulation. Regular meditation has been shown to improve vagal tone, and can help interrupt repetitive thought patterns often associated with anxiety, overthinking, and burnout. In this class, meditation is gentle and accessible, designed to soothe rather than challenge.
STILLNESS AND SILENCE are often the most overlooked but most powerful parts of any restorative practice. In a world that rarely allows space to simply be, this final portion of the class gives your system time to integrate. No stimulation, no demands, no expectations just the opportunity for the body to settle into a natural state of rest. It’s in these quiet moments that your nervous system truly has a chance to reset, recalibrate, and restore balance.
Stillness isn’t always easy but it’s deeply needed.
