Β Stuck to Flexible:Β Understanding Your Nervous System Through Polyvagal Theory
A 4-Week Online Workshop for Women Who Can't Switch Off

Starting 17 Feb 2026 | $97 | Limited to 20
Reserve Your Spot βYou've Tried Everything
Better sleep habits. Healthier food. Meditation apps. Breathing exercises.
Some of it helps for a day or two. Then you're right back where you started.
The afternoon crash hits and you're reaching for chocolate just to get through. You lie awake at night even though you're exhausted. Your digestive system is unpredictable. You feel tense all the time.
What may be happening:
Your body has a stress response system. It's designed to activate in bursts when you need it (deadlines, challenges, busy days), then return to regulation (restoration, repair, digestion).
That's normal. That's how you're supposed to work.
The problem may be getting stuck.
Your body might be stuck in "on" mode. It may keep responding as if there's ongoing pressure, even when you're trying to rest.
When this happens:
Your energy crashes: Your body may be trying to force you to stop, but you push through anyway.
You can't sleep: You're exhausted but your mind won't let you rest. When you finally fall asleep, you wake at 2am and can't get back to sleep.
Your digestion suffers: Your body can't digest properly when stuck in stress mode. Optimal digestion and nutrient absorption occurs when you're regulated.
You reach for sugar and caffeine: Your body may be desperately seeking quick energy to keep going.
Your body holds tension: Your shoulders are up around your ears, your jaw is clenched, you grind your teeth at night.
What if these aren't separate problems? What if they're all connected to your body being stuck?
What You'll Get
This isn't another program telling you to "just relax."
This is understanding what's actually happening in your body and having practical tools to use.
Four 60-minute sessions:
β 10 minutes: Understanding your stress response (in plain language)
β 10 minutes: Gentle movement (simple, anyone can do it)
β 40 minutes: Supported yin yoga (you're being held by props, not trying to be flexible)
By week four, you'll begin to:
β Understand why you feel the way you do
β Recognise what different states feel like in your body
β Have four simple tools you can actually use
β Know what to do when you notice what's happening
Why You Feel This Way
You'll learn the different ways your body responds to stress and how it's designed to move between states. You'll practice simple movements to actually feel these states in your body.
You'll leave with: A practice to use in everyday life.
What Ease Actually Feels Like
You'll learn to recognise when your body is at ease versus activated. You'll practice movements that may help your body shift toward ease.
You'll leave with: A tool to help you find regulation when you need it.
When You're Wired and Can't Turn Off
You'll learn to recognise that anxious, can't settle, running on high alert feeling. You'll practice movements for when you're wired but need to function.
You'll leave with: A tool for when you're activated or lying awake at 2am.
When You're Running on Empty
You'll learn to recognise when you've hit the wall and everything feels too hard. You'll practice movements that may help when you're feeling flat.
You'll leave with: A tool for when you need gentle support to reconnect.
This Is For You If:
β You experience afternoon energy crashes
β You lie awake at night or wake at 2am and can't get back to sleep
β Your digestion is affected by stress
β You reach for sugar or caffeine to get through the day
β You carry tension in your body (tight shoulders, clenched jaw, teeth grinding)
β You can't turn off and it's exhausting being in this constant state
β You want to understand what's actually happening in your body, not just manage symptoms
β You want to understand what's actually happening, not just be told to relax
β You're ready to carve out an hour for yourself on Tuesday evenings for four weeks (recordings available if you can't make it live)

Who Runs This
Kylie Gillin
BHSc Food and Nutrition | Trauma and Polyvagal Informed Practitioner | Yoga Facilitator
I experienced burnout trying to do it all. Full time project manager, studying nutrition, and running a small wellbeing studio.
I couldn't sleep properly. I had no energy and was just surviving. I hadn't felt ease in my body for a long time.
That's when I learned my body was stuck in a stress response pattern. I couldn't change my lifestyle at the time, but I could implement small things to help.
Understanding this changed everything.
My background:
- BHSc Food and Nutrition
- Trauma and Polyvagal Informed Practitioner
- 20+ years in corporate roles
- Yoga facilitator
What I do:
- Explain what's happening in language you can understand
- Give you practical tools for your real life
- Meet you where you are today
Common Questions
Do I need yoga experience?

The Real Question
How much longer can you keep going like this?
Three months from now, you'll either:
Still be stuck in the same pattern. Still crashing every afternoon. Still lying awake at 2am. Still not understanding why.
Or you'll:
Understand what's actually happening. Recognise the signals. Have four simple tools. Know this isn't a personal failure.
This won't eliminate stress from your life. But it might help you understand what's happening and give you tools that could make a real difference.
Four weeks. Four tools. $97.
Starting 17 February 2026
