Discover how to build agency over your mental and physical wellbeing.
Serotonin is a magical neurotransmitter, and it’s in short supply in our dopamine-chasing modern world.
These two neurotransmitters compete for uptake in the brain, and dopamine takes precedence over serotonin.
Low serotonin is involved in a lot more than low mood. When we are low in serotonin, we may find that we lack appetite control, we have cravings for sugar and other refined carbs, or we engage in other addictive behaviours. We may also experience anxiety and poor sleep, and our gut may be sluggish.
Serotonin enables us to be present and enjoy the moment. Find out how to support your serotonin levels , the molecule that mediates contentment, happiness and optimism, through nutrition, movement and breath.
WORKSHOP AGENDA
6.15pm – 7pm – Introduction to serotonin. What does it do for us; why do some of us have lower levels than others (a discussion around nutrients, genetics, hormones, gut health); and the importance of connection - with ourselves, each other and the world around us.
7.15pm – 8.30pm – Yoga and breath to support serotonin
8.30pm – 8.45pm – Q&A and close.
What to wear and what to bring
Wear loose, comfy clothes and, if you can, bring a yoga mat, yoga blocks or cushions and a blanket. Also bring a notebook and pen.
Yoga and breathwork is best done on an empty stomach. I recommend that you have something light to eat a couple of hours before the start of the workshop.
WORKSHOP COST
£25 per person. Includes handouts and light refreshments afterwards. Places are limited to 12 people, and you can book your place here.

WORKSHOP FACILITATED BY LINDSEY BEVERIDGE
Registered Nutrionist (BANT, CNHC)
Nutrigenomics Practitioner (Lifecode GX)
Transformational Coach (IACTM)
Kundalini Global Yoga & Breathwork Teacher
Workshop and retreat facilitator since 2019
I have been running online and in-person workshops and retreats on gut health, mental health, addiction recovery and the menopause transition since 2019.
My personal history of overcoming an alcohol addiction, a nicotine addiction and binge-eating led me to have a special interest in working with people who struggle with anxiety, low mood, and / or addictions to alcohol or other damaging substances or behaviours.
Since qualifying as a registered nutritionist in 2019, and later as a transformational coach, I have helped 1000s of people shift damaging patterns of behaviour. I’ve helped them implement positive changes to their diet and lifestyle so they can feel better. I trained as a Kundalini yoga and breathwork teacher because movement and breath are fundamental to healing.
I’d love to see you there.
About Kundalini Global
Kundalini Global works with the stress system. We experience how movement and breath can change how we feel - quite quickly. It is a wonderful practice for people who suffer from anxiety, low mood, and/ or addictive behaviour patterns.
The practice supports nervous system health - neurotransmitter release, fascia and psoas muscle release, and vagal tone - and I explain a bit as we go along.
It was founded by Carolyn Cowan, a yoga teacher and teacher trainer with decades’ worth of experience, who is also a psychotherapist specialising in trauma, anxiety, addiction, shame, pre-and-postnatal health and more.
Kundalini Global is unattached to any religious or spiritual practice or guru and it's suitable for all body types and levels of fitness.
