I’m very proud to be a part of a new venture, Solent Wellbeing, that is launching this week with a FREE informal event ‘Let’s Talk about Stress‘ to coincide with National Stress Awareness Day .

Experiencing stress is a normal part of all of our lives. It causes tension in our bodies, physically mentally or emotionally, but learning how you cope best with stress can greatly improve your wellbeing. You are invited to join us on:

Sunday 10th November | 12.30pm – 2.30pm. | Solent Crossfit, 1 Endle St, Southampton SO14 5FZ

Please register via Eventbrite as we have a limited number of spaces

There will be a movement session to help everyone stretch and relax, a yoga session for stress relief, opportunity to speak with our nutritionist about ways to improve your diet, and time to ask our team any questions you may have.

Come and meet myself and the rest of our team of health and wellbeing practitioners, and gain some practical knowledge about how to cope with stress in your day to day life.

The science in a nutshell

Yoga has a broad range of physical and mental benefits and research has shown that just a single yoga session can lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone[1]. Recent research in brain science also shows how regular practice can change your brain to help you manage your emotional response when faced with stressful situations[1].
Additionally, research has revealed that people who use their strengths a lot are 18x more likely to be flourishing than those who do not use their strengths[2].

No prior experience of yoga necessary. Maximum 12 people. £175.00 for the course.

Early bird fee is £150.00 if booked by Midnight Friday 29th November.

Email Kate Dickens kated@latitudecoaching.com to book or for further information.

Recommendations for this course:

“This is the course for some time to yourself, time to reflect, take care and relieve any stress. Highly recommended for the fast pace lifestyles we lead.”

“I looked forward to each session. I learnt a lot about techniques and now have a tool box I can use. A good balance between science and spiritual. I will miss my daily emails – I imagine them in golden colours when they come into my inbox, a little ray of sunshine. Thank you.”

“How small actions can stack up and make a difference to how you manage stressful situations – it’s given me a whole toolbox to work with!”
