Escape to the natural world to engage the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The PNS, also known as the rest and digest state, controls the body’s ability to relax. While engaging the PNS decreases our heart rate and blood pressure in the moment, it also lowers our resting heart rate and decreases our risk of cardiovascular disease over time.
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) controls the body’s “flight, fight, or freeze” response. An overactive SNS raises your heart rate, blood pressure, and puts us on high alert. In this session we’ll enjoy a serene desert stroll and pause at a peaceful spot to practice a combination of qi gong, tai chi, stretching, and a guided meditation. Book this session if you’re looking for meditative movement in a natural setting that will soothe the soul.
