ALIGNING MIND, BODY & SPIRIT for TRUE HARMONY IN YOUR LIFE

Your body is a portal into creating your mind & emotions. 

Your mind is a gateway into how you feel physically & emotionally. 

Your nervous system is the key to balancing both mind & body to create the experience of the life you want.  

Many of the struggles you experience come from a nervous system that is stuck in sympathetic stress, or fight/flight mode. 

In Aligned 2.0, we work together to shift physical and emotional behaviours and experiences that keep you stuck, living from your survival nervous system. 

As you move learn to work with your nervous system, mind & body in a coordinated & truly unique way, you will move towards a state of being that is emotionally responsive and physically adaptable. 

Along the way you will dissolve tension, pain & stuck-ness to create true alignment in every sense of the word. This creates real wellbeing, harmony, joy, fulfilment and a deep sense of freedom & ease in all aspects of your life. This affects everything: 

• how you move your body
• how you feel 
• how you build relationships
• how you show up as a parent
• how you age
• how you are at work or in your business 
• how you create
• and what you attract through how you be and show up, everyday! 

Have you ever thought about what it is to be truly aligned? Alignment is power. It is synchronicity in all aspects of you. Alignment means: 

• to be in a straight line (and a straight line is the shortest distance between points.)
• to be in order (and not chaotic)
• to be in right relationship (which is fulfilling)
• to be in agreement (which creates calm)
• to be coordinated (which means you can do more with less effort)
• to be in cooperation (which creates balance & ease)

The trouble is, it is nearly impossible to recognise when we are a little out of alignment. To keep you safe, your brain tell you that you are 'straight' when in actuality, you have embodied tension patterns that have positioned you into a crooked, twisted or off to one side state. (This applies physically and to mental/emotional patterns.)

This crookedness, over time, creates compensation patterns which, in turn, create pain, tension and a feeling of being stuck.  It is hard to see our own patterns beneath the issues/stress/pain without outside eyes and support. (This is what Aligned 2.0 gives you!) 

When you are aligned, you:

• collapse time & space around your goals & desires.
• feel better, move more freely & easily.
• feel in sync in mind, body & spirit.
• different parts of your life feel coordinated.
• recover more quickly when you feel off-kilter.

Aligned 2.0 is perfect for you if:

• You often feel stress, tension or pain in your mind, body or emotions
• You want to move more freely in your body and age actively & vibrantly
• You are tired of always feeling like there is ‘more’ to life - that you are, somehow, not really living as you want to live
• You are determined to create your life in alignment with who you are, in confidence, joy, fulfilment & success.

Aligned 2.0 is unique and unlike other programs, classes or coaching experiences.

You will learn to use your physical body as the portal into your mind, your emotions & your way of being. You will discover practices & techniques that help you to pull your desired way of being into your reality. And through time, practice you will shift & grow from a place of balance, power and peace - every day. 

Why? Because you will combine biomechanics, movement and mindset skills with nervous system awareness to create a emotional, mental and physical adaptability & responsiveness that is unlike anything you've experienced before. 

The greatest transformation is possible when this work is done simultaneously, in a multi-layered approach. My clients have seen this time & time again...

Aligned 2.0 - Body & Being is a monthly membership program that combines biomechanics, movement and mindset skills together with nervous system awareness to promote optimal functioning on every level - emotionally, mentally and physically. 

The program itself is experiential and you get loads of hands on support, through a combination of weekly sessions and a ever-growing library of sessions, resources & tools. 

You will gain…

• A grounded, real-world understanding of your nervous system and how it's affecting you in all aspects of your life & your being. 
• Skills to re-pattern negative responses (both physical and mental), including those that may have arisen from accident, trauma or injury.
• Practical techniques & practices that you can integrate into your every day (depending on your needs that day.) 
• Applied skills for healthy biomechanics from the level of your nervous system & your body. 
• A deeper understanding of what it is to BE and CREATE your life in the way that you desire. 

Each month includes 4 live calls which are recorded and added to the library.  

Call 1 - Masterclass on the theme of the month 

Call 2 - Somatic Movement Class

Call 3 - Voxer Q&A / Coaching Session

Call 4 - Aligned Practice Experience integrating the knowledge and practices into one experience serving mind, body, heart & soul. 

You may attend live or watch the recordings. You will have access to the entire library of recordings as long as you attended as long as you remain a member of Aligned 2.0. 

Why mindset work? Why not just bodywork?

Aligned Being is your Masterclass 

Each program month is structured around a topic/ theme. This theme will be introduced in a masterclass & cascade into all calls / classes / practices that month.

Why the body? Why not just mindset work?  

Your body is the vehicle through which you experience your life. (Your body gives your ability to see, smell, feel, taste, touch all that is around you.) Your body is also a mirror that reflects your state of mind (your thoughts or mental stress) and heart (your feelings & emotional stress) in specific physical tension patterns. 

Short term tension patterns can often be resolved. However, long-term stress (even when low-grade) produces chronic tension patterns in your body. These cannot be easily resolved because they are hidden! Everyone has these patterns. Why?  Unfortunately, we all know that modern-day living puts us all in a state of long-term chronic stress. 

In an effort to protect & support you, when you are in chronic stress, your helpful brain moves these tension patterns into your subconscious. You will no longer be aware of the tension pattern - even though you feel it's effects! (pain, stress, anxiety, stuckness, etc!) 

Why is this? Mirrors are two-way vehicles. Your physical tension patterns create tension in your mind, your emotions & your way of being.

Everyday, you will be operating from this place: feeling stuck, anxious, struggling to sleeping, or have patience in your relationships. You will try to create change in your life and feel like you fail each time. No matter which technique you try (meditation, affirmations, breathwork, journalling, stretching, yoga), your results are minimal, slow and short-term. 

Align Body Align Being uses simple Somatic Movement as a way to quickly, easily and powerfully dissolve these tension patterns. Within just a few minutes, you will feel calmer, grounded, balanced and aligned in mind & emotions. Somatic movement is not exercise or stretching. Instead, it is a tool that accesses your brain & your nervous system. It enables you to move your tension patterns back into your consciousness where you can soften and eliminate them. 

Then it becomes possible for you to step into a place of creation to transform your body, your being, your life & your business.

FAQ

Do I need to be experienced in Somatic Movement? 

No. Somatic movement is gentle & accessible to everyone. That said, experiencing 1:1 Somatic work with Denise can accelerate your body awareness and help you to uncover & dissolve your hidden tension patterns more quickly. If you join Align Body, look for your invitation to book a 1:1 session at a special price. 

(*if you are currently experiencing acute pain or recent injury, please speak to Denise. 1:1 work or Aligned Being might be more appropriate for you for a short time.) 

What kind of themes will be offered? 

Each monthly theme will be thoughtfully selected based on the needs of the community.

Some themes that you might expect to see:

Creating from the Magic of Awe & Wonder

Getting vs. Creating

The Incredible Power of Efforting Less

Do I need to attend every class or call live? 

No all classes / calls will be recorded and made available for that week. Denise encourages you to repeat the classes and rewatch the calls. You might be surprised how much transformation comes from practices of little and often! 

Do I need any special equipment? 

No, though some people prefer to have a yoga (or 2) mat on the floor for Somatic work. It is also helpful to have a folded up towel and/or a belt handy - particularly in the beginning when working with tight tension patterns.
