A little trigger can go a long way: How yoga calms the path
Yoga practices like Yoga Nidra can help calm how you respond to life when you are triggered. Over time, these triggers may even disappear.
From Anxiety to Calm
Our bodies listen to our anxious thoughts and words. Our bodies then respond with stress response. If you want to be in another state, you have to BE in another state. Because who you will become is because of who you are now. And who you are now is because of where you’ve been. Restorative yoga helps to transform anxiety through intentional physical and mental calm. Breathe, release and bask in the glory.

Try and Sigh: Free Restorative Yoga Intro Class
Come along to a free restorative yoga introduction class if you are new to the teachings, or want to know more about Janie’s BeCalmed Studio approach. This class is for you if you know you need to do something to calm down and reduce stress, or if you’re recovering from illness or treatment and you want to come back even better.
The beauty of restorative yoga is that it is for everyone because everyone needs a little support in their lives. Extremely capable and together people need these classes as much as those who are struggling: Because most of us don’t live in a world that supports slow, calm, cozy and soft. A life that springs from a calmer state is way better than a life that springs from stress.
Learn potentially life-changes techniques to calm you down - gentle shapes, breathing and a guided meditation. And find out how you can make a real shift.
