Pause/Recharge at Stock Goods, Woodstock, VT
This somatic workout class invites you to pause from your normal pace to de-stress and reinvigorate yourself. The carefully crafted sequence is designed to help you release tension and reach an extraordinary level of presence and awareness. You’ll experience simple yet powerful movement, somatic and neural exercises, and guided self-inquiry in every session. It's not all serious and quiet! Joy is a key ingredient in building resilience, and we really lean in throughout class. Watch a video to see what the class looks like here!
Vibe: Wear your most comfortable sweats, bring a mat or blanket and notebook, be receptive. And to answer an FAQ: we do not share what we write about. That’s just for you. The physical activity level varies - it is an all levels class.
Afterwards: My intention is for you to feel nourished, and reconnected to yourself and your priorities.

Tension Releasing Exercises at the Woodstock Athletic Club
Tension Releasing Exercises (TRE®, spoken as T.R.E.) is a simple body-based method that calms your nervous system and releases deep muscular patterns of stress and tension. The TRE practice helps you activate the primal reflex of somatic shaking, which naturally occurs in every human being. TRE is a safe and effective stress release technique for most people, and can be complementary to talk therapy or other somatic work.
Vibe: Wear workout clothes/may get sweaty. Think fatiguing your legs while upright including a wall sit, and then lying down on your mat in constructive rest. Moderate physical activity level.
Afterwards: My intention is for you to have a body-led experience, increase self-compassion, and feel rebalanced like you got a massage from the inside out.

Somatic Stress Release Workshop
An experiential workshop featuring TRE®
Monday, July 14th from 6-8pm EST
at Open Door Integrative Wellness in White River Junction, VT
This workshop is an invitation for those ready to meet their body where it’s at—and let it move and release what words alone can’t.
Through a blend of somatic movement, gentle stretching, and TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), you'll tap into your body’s innate ability to unwind tension, release held stress, and return to a state of openness and ease.
TRE® is a powerful, body-led method that activates a natural tremoring response to release deeply held tension patterns in the muscles. It looks like vibration or shaking and helps discharge stuck energy and restore flow.
It’s used by athletes, first responders, and high performers worldwide to enhance resilience and athletic recovery, reduce chronic tension and pain, improve sleep, and discharge long-held stress chemicals in the body.
You’ll stay in charge of your pace and experience—no pushing—just presence, curiosity, and following the attuned guidance that works for you.
This is about creating space for your system to re-pattern.
Participants regularly say that this session is, "profound", "inspiring" and "life-changing."
And many have said they feel like they "got a massage from the inside out"!
You'll walk away feeling rebalanced, more deeply attuned to your body, and empowered with simple tools you can take with you into daily life.
Here's more from other participants:
“It was beautiful to be given the space and invitation to let my body take over instead of my mind. That alone is medicine.” – Laurel
“I’ve done a lot of nervous system work, but this gave me a felt sense of regulation that I hadn’t experienced before.” – Rachael
"Carolyn is very intuitive and she came over to support me and guide me at just the right moment. I felt like my heart exploded. That was the deepest experience I’ve ever had. I’ll never forget it.” -Valerie
“This workshop was the start of a whole new chapter in how I listen to and care for myself.” – Michelle
"I really liked TRE and how it's body-based and you can go at your own pace. It felt the most accessible of the things I have tried to release tension and process stuck emotions." - Aaron
Come as you are. Wear comfy layers, bring a yoga mat, journal, and water bottle. Expect to move, maybe sweat a little, and then rest deeply.
This experience is ideal for people who are curious about somatic practices, self-regulation, and embodied healing—not because something is broken, but because something in you is ready to reconnect.
Vibe: Wear workout clothes/may get a little sweaty. Think fatiguing your legs while upright and then lying down on your mat in constructive rest.
Afterwards: My intention is for you to have a body-led experience, increase self-awareness and self-compassion, and feel rebalanced like you got a massage from the inside out.
2 hrs | $40

— Emily, TRE and Pause participant
