Sometimes life’s challenges leave us feeling numb, disconnected, or energetically frozen. When our nervous system shifts into protective shutdown, we may find ourselves going through the motions but not truly feeling alive. This compassionate, trauma-informed workshop offers a gentle pathway back to vitality and embodied presence.

Awakening from Shutdown explores how to mindfully emerge from states of numbness and collapse without forcing or overwhelming your system. Using polyvagal theory as a foundation, this workshop provides trauma-sensitive movement, sensory awakening practices, and nervous system education that honors your body’s protective responses while inviting a gradual return to aliveness.

Through Karolin’s gentle guidance, you’ll discover how to work with your nervous system’s natural rhythms, learning to distinguish between healing rest and disconnection, and finding your own pathway back to feeling vibrant and engaged with life.

What You’ll Explore in This 120-Minute Experience:

– Understanding Shutdown: Recognize the signs and protective purpose of a “collapsed” nervous system state
– Gentle Reactivation: Trauma-sensitive movement and sensory practices that invite energy back into your body
– Nervous System Wisdom: An accessible introduction to polyvagal theory and your body’s different survival states
– Healthy Boundaries: Learn to distinguish between restorative rest and dissociative shutdown
– Embodied Awakening: Safe practices to gradually reconnect with your vitality and life force

This workshop meets you exactly where you are—no yoga experience required. Whether you’re navigating depression, recovering from burnout, or simply feeling disconnected from your body, you’ll find compassionate tools for gently returning to yourself.

Accessible to all bodies and experience levels. Available in English or German.

Perfect for anyone feeling stuck in numbness, experiencing burnout, or seeking gentle ways to reconnect with their inner vitality.
