Glow Parasympathetic Rebalancing Program: 🌿 Calm isn’t a buzzword - it’s the only way to survive and thrive
When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to push through, to work harder, move faster, numb out.
Most of us don’t mean to run on empty, but between to-do lists, endless decisions, and never-ending deadlines, our bodies quietly fall behind.
Sometimes, the body carries wounds we aren’t even aware of, both known and hidden traumas that can keep the nervous system stuck in survival mode, until we gently retrain it to feel safe, grounded, and whole again.
You might wonder:
How do I know if I’m in survival mode?
Does my system need rebalancing?
And what happens if I keep living in a constant state of "go-go-go"?
IS YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM OUT OF BALANCE?
YES, IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING:
-
Infertility or sexual dysfunction
-
Inflammation, showing up as chronic aches and pains
-
Elevated blood pressure or high cholesterol
-
Feeling irritable, scattered, tired, or wired at night
-
Anxiety and persistent negative thoughts
-
A weakened immune or digestive system, increased instances of illness
-
Craving change but feeling stuck
When the nervous system lives too long in "fight or flight," the body loses its natural ability to repair, reproduce, and protect itself. Over time, chronic stress shifts from an invisible weight to all kinds of dysfunctions, some of which are listed above.
Parasympathetic Rebalancing focuses on activating the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) to counteract the effects of stress and promote relaxation and well-being. This involves techniques that help shift the body from a "fight or flight" (sympathetic) state to a "rest, repair, reproduce and digest" - parasympathetic state.
If you understand the vicious cycle of stress and working too much, you also understand that healing begins by down-regulating our nervous systems. As we like to say: 'Liberation is nervous system regulation.'
With insomnia, infertility, ADD, burnout, anxiety, and depression levels on the rise, we hope to share the power of our deeply calming classes, weekend events, and massages at our Spa. Visit your Glow sanctuary weekly to reboot, recharge, slow down, and shift your system to its powerful state of recovery and balance. You deserve quality R&R.

What 100 yo and 70 yo Yogis Are Like
MEMBERS' SPOTLIGHT:
Meet Nina & her Soundbath baby
‘I started coming to Glow regularly about 9 months ago, when I had just left a toxic job that had torn me down and my stress levels were insanely high. I was determined to slow down and find a way to manage my stress and anxiety. I always focused on high-intensity workouts and heavyweights in the past, so Glow helped me find balance and a different kind of strength.
The sound baths have been the most healing for me. Sitting still and meditating are very hard - my mind is always racing. But now I don’t worry about where my mind might go while I meditate. I’ve become much more in tune with my body and less in my head. Although I continue to work a high-pressure job, continuing to come to the sound baths and yin classes has been non-negotiable for me - and I’m handling my work stress 100x better now.
I am also convinced that slowing down and doing yoga regularly helped me get pregnant. During a sound bath back in June I had this sudden realization that I was pregnant. But I brushed it off, figuring I was just crazy (lol). Sure enough, about 1-2 weeks later I had a positive pregnancy test. Continuing to come to yoga has helped me manage my anxiety throughout my pregnancy. And I feel confident that practicing yoga has helped prepare my body too - opening my hips/pelvis and keeping me virtually pain-free throughout pregnancy (except now - these final weeks are no joke...).
I’m so grateful to you for providing a peaceful, judgment-free place for me to come to. I couldn’t have gotten through the last 8+ months without Glow.’ - Nina
