Embodied Boundaries w/ Meredith Rosenbluth

Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, or financial aid, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org Boundaries are an essential component of building safety, clarity, respect, and love in all relationships--including your relationship with yourself. And yet, so often, we struggle. From a somatic perspective, difficulty implementing, adhering to, or receiving boundaries is not a character flaw. It is not the result of lack of willpower or knowledge about why boundaries are important. It is the result of a nervous system that is doing what it thinks it needs to do to keep you safe. Being able to assert healthy boundaries in your life is as much about clarity around your needs as it is about capacity in your nervous system--to hold discomfort, to disappoint someone, to believe your needs are valid. This workshop will include lecture, journaling, group discussion, and somatic activities to explore boundaries in a multifaceted and impactful way. Through this workshop, you will: ✨ Do a deep dive into boundaries: different types, what function they serve in relationships, and how to handle the reactions they elicit✨ Learn about boundaries from a somatic (nervous system) perspective✨ Reflect on your personal relationship with boundaries: how they have been modeled to you, how your body responds to them, and how you assert them in your own life✨ Gain clarity around your true needs and wants, and the 'why' behind your boundary patterns✨ Practice somatic exercises to help your system grow its capacity to hold boundaries (both implementing and receiving them)✨ Learn practical tools to create firm and loving boundaries in your life If you struggle with asserting boundaries, receiving boundaries, or having your boundaries crossed, you are not alone. Join this workshop to explore this essential and tender topic in respectful, compassionate community, where we will get at the root of boundary issues (the nervous system!) and learn and grow together. This workshop is facilitated by somatic emotional health coach and educator, Meredith Rosenbluth. Offering 1:1 coaching, breathwork, and group programs, Meredith is devoted to cultivating attuned, grounded, vulnerable, and joyful spaces to foster meaningful connection and personal transformation. All of you is welcome, exactly as you are in any given moment, always. You can learn more about Meredith's private practice here. A testimonal from Meredith's February 2026 workshop, The Somatics of Trauma: Meredith really made this class so amazing. I did not know exactly what to expect going in, but the amount of information that was given was so digestible. Meredith presented it in a way that was easy to understand and apply to my own life. I really enjoyed that she presented agreements at the beginning of the class that set the tone for listening and sharing so that everyone felt comfortable. I left the class feeling like I could move forward with a new confidence in myself and in my body. For more information on Meredith, please see her teacher profile here!
