Unburdening the Mind: Yoga for Overthinkers with Alex Bauermeister

For the ruminators. For the analyzers. For those whose minds rarely go quiet.

This is a practice space for sticky minds. If you live with looping thoughts, hypervigilance, or anxious mental chatter, you are not broken. Your nervous system has learned that staying mentally “on” is protective. And while that vigilance may have served you, it can also be exhausting.

This workshop is for those who want to relate to their minds differently — not by forcing thoughts to shut off, but by building the capacity for them to settle. Facilitated by Alex Bauermeister (LCSW, C-IAYT), this is a skills-based embodiment workshop designed to support a gentle shift from rumination to presence. From mental overdrive to grounded awareness. From living in your head to inhabiting your body.

Drawing from yoga therapy, mindfulness psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we will:

  • Build compassionate understanding for the parts of you that stay analytical, vigilant, and mentally busy.

  • Explore how anxious and ruminating parts attempt to protect you.

  • Practice nervous system regulation through breath, movement, and interoceptive awareness.

  • Strengthen your capacity to unhook from thought loops.

  • Cultivate presence aligned with your values — on the mat and in your life.

This is not about silencing the mind. It’s about changing your relationship to it. Together, we’ll practice loosening the grip of rumination and building embodied steadiness — one breath, one pose, one moment at a time.
