These practices are designed with nervous system safety as the foundation. You always choose the pace, depth, and duration. This isn't about pushing through or breaking down walls—it's about gently opening doors your body is ready to walk through. If you get overwhelmed during a practice, pause, scan your environment, ground, and take as much time as you need before returning to the practice. 

All you need is a place where you can sit or lie down comfortably without interruption. Give the practice your attention as much as possible. The practices are designed to work in limited space and can be adapted for many bodies and abilities.

While meditation and yoga can be valuable, they often emphasize controlling or directing your experience. Return To Center practices invite you to listen to your body's wisdom rather than imposing a particular state. This approach honors your system's unique needs and timing.

Perfect. Numbness is information too. These practices honor all starting points, including disconnection. Sometimes not feeling is the most honest place to begin, and honoring that is part of the practice.
