Physical and environmental safety are key aspects of well-being - which can feel threatened in a chaotic world.

Join Ben Eichenauer (he/him), Certified Rolfer & student of Martial Arts as we learn how to be and feel safer together.

Drawing from somatic therapies, martial practices, polyvagal theory and more, we will explore:

  • Simple defense techniques to help protect yourself and others

  • Situational awareness for everyday safety and adaptability

  • Martial conditioning adapted to your unique body and abilities

  • Polyvagal theory: Fight, Flight, Fawn, Freeze

  • Reflexive responses and the ability to choose your actions

  • Dynamics of Power and how they influence our nervous system

  • Tools for nervous system regulation

  • Tactical choices: where to stand, what to notice, when to move

  • Defense options adapted to your unique body and abilities

  • And more…

This is an emergent class: your interests and abilities will influence what we present and explore.

 

Functional
