Our resident yoga instructor. Brittany has some fantastic ways to honor the seasons changing vibe.

This month, to honor the seasons changing, and letting go or shedding what no longer serves us - every class is centered on hip release - not just for flexibility, but because the hips are one of the body's biggest storage sites for unprocessed stress and old survival responses.

The psoas muscle in particular reacts to fear before your conscious mind even catches up. It's a uniquely complex muscle, running from the transverse processes, vertebral bodies, and discs of T12 through L5 (nearly the entire lumbar spine) all the way down to the lesser trochanter of the femur, deep in the inner thigh. It's the only muscle that directly connects your spine to your legs, which is part of why it's so responsive to stress.

When stress becomes chronic, the psoas can stay braced indefinitely - tightening through the hips and sometimes irritating the sciatic nerve along the way. Releasing that tension is powerful, but it can also bring up emotion, and that's normal too.

Come move slowly with us this month, no pressure, just permission. 🤍

Childhood Trauma Changes the Stress Response-
Childhood trauma doesn’t simply become a memory we leave behind. When a child experiences ongoing fear, instability, neglect, abuse, or other overwhelming stress, the developing brain can adapt to survive.
The brain may begin to stay on high alert, constantly watching for danger. Over time, this can make the nervous system more sensitive to stress—even years after the original danger is gone.
As adults, this may show up as:
• Feeling easily overwhelmed
• Anxiety or constant worry
• Difficulty relaxing or feeling safe
• Being highly sensitive to conflict or criticism
• Strong emotional reactions to situations others may see as minor
• Difficulty trusting others
• Always feeling like something bad is about to happen
This isn’t a sign of weakness. It can be the brain doing what it learned to do to protect you.
The good news is that the brain is capable of change. With safety, healthy relationships, self-awareness, and appropriate support, people can learn to regulate their stress response and develop new patterns.
Your past may have shaped your nervous system, but it does not have to define your future. ❤️ Therapy works !!!. Call or text Serenity Wellness Collective today! 484.548.3531
