ABOUT THE SERIES:

Imagine meeting yourself with tenderness during anxiety, illness, or grief. Imagine being able to pause in the midst of a heated moment and return with clarity instead of defensiveness. Imagine, in moments of anger, hurt, or shame, being able to pause, shift perspective, and enter the moment with a more open mind. Imagine savoring joy—fully, consciously—without rushing past it.

Imagine changing your life, 90 seconds at a time. Every time you Pause, it is possible. 

In this six-week online somatic series, you’ll learn the simple 90-second Pause practice—LAR-LAR™—to regulate your nervous system and reconnect to your inner peace and resilience. 

Many experts suggest “taking a pause,” but few offer the practices grounded in both the latest neuroscience and ancient tradition that make it possible and accessible. This virtual program, based on the upcoming new book, The Power of the Pause by renowned teacher, author, and speaker Jillian Pransky, will give you the tools to meet whatever is happening with more clarity and a grounded, centered presence. 

This transformative series will support you with:

  • Breaking free from old, limiting habits

  • Shifting from reaction mode to intentional response

  • Feeling more at ease in your body and relationships

  • Returning to a steadier, more compassionate self

Over six weeks, which includes a meditation and practice, you’ll explore each progressive step of LAR-LAR through somatic movement on the mat, short tools you can take off the mat, and short inspirations from the book. Whether you are reading the book along with the series or completely new to this work, this series is designed to support you not only during our time together but where it matters most: in your day and in your life. 

Schedule

Each week, we'll meet for a meditation and somatic practice, and each session will focus on a step of LAR-LAR.
