-Join Jen in SLC for Sensory Mellow Sessions that spark confidence and emotional regulation for neurodiverse individuals through playful, sensory-friendly yoga, Gentle Relief Sessions to soothe chronic pain, or anyone seeking therapeutic benefits in a supportive setting. With flexible, affordable rates and a warm, inclusive vibe, let’s flow into wellness together.
Evokes a calm, soothing, and relaxed state—aligning with the gentle, restorative nature of the sessions, which aim to help participants shift into a more balanced and mellow mood through mindful movement and therapeutic techniques.
Sessions are sensory-friendly and tailored to support sensory processing, emotional regulation, and self-regulation skills. Gentle movement, breath work, and elements like dance help build confidence, improve social skills, reduce anxiety or overstimulation, and enhance body awareness in a supportive, non-overwhelming environment.
Low-intensity, restorative practices ease physical discomfort by promoting relaxation, improving flexibility and gentle strength, and reducing stress-related tension that can amplify pain. The compassionate approach focuses on pain management through mindful movement and breath, helping participants feel more at ease in their bodies.
Like broader yoga therapy, it activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the “rest and digest” mode) to lower stress hormones, boost feel-good brain chemicals (such as GABA for calmer moods and reduced anxiety), and foster mindfulness. This leads to better mood stability, emotional balance, resilience against daily stressors, and a sense of inner calm and presence.
Benefits
• Promotes deep relaxation and stress relief
The gentle movements, combined with breath-work (pranayama) and mindful awareness, activate the parasympathetic nervous system (your body’s “rest and digest” mode). This lowers stress hormones like cortisol, reduces muscle tension, slows heart rate, and helps quiet racing thoughts.
• Eases physical discomfort and supports pain management
In Gentle Relief Sessions, the focus is on restorative, supported poses (often using props like blankets or bolsters) that release tension without straining joints or muscles. This can alleviate chronic pain, improve flexibility gently, enhance circulation, and promote better body awareness.
• Holistic wellness boost
Regular gentle practice like this improves sleep quality, increases energy without exhaustion, builds confidence through small achievable wins, and encourages a kinder relationship with your body and mind. It’s not about “perfect” poses—it’s about gentle progress toward feeling more grounded, present, and at peace.
• Enhances emotional regulation and mood balance
Through slow, intentional movement and elements like breath focus or creative dance integration, sessions build self-regulation skills. This fosters greater emotional resilience, helps process feelings mindfully, and boosts feel-good brain chemicals (like GABA for calmer moods). It’s especially supportive for shifting out of low-energy states, irritability, or emotional ups and downs into a more stable, positive “mood mellow” vibe.
• Accessible and inclusive for all bodies and abilities
Unlike faster or more athletic yoga styles, Mood Mellow emphasizes personalization—no one is pushed beyond their comfort zone. Whether someone is new to yoga, dealing with fatigue, limited mobility, or just prefers a soothing practice, the compassionate approach makes it welcoming and effective. Sessions can be in-home, community-based, or virtual (via telehealth), adding convenience.
