In today’s busy world, even those of us enjoying later life can feel stressed, anxious or unsettled. The nervous system, which sits at the centre of how our bodies respond to stress, plays a vital role in our daily wellbeing. When it is calm and balanced, we sleep better, feel more resilient, and can enjoy life more fully. When it is overstimulated, we may notice anxiety, poor sleep, irritability, or even a decline in physical health.
At danceSing, we have developed a unique 7-Day Calm Your Nervous System programme, designed especially for adults, including those living in care homes and senior living communities. This digital wellbeing series blends breathwork, meditation, affirmations, gratitude and relaxation techniques to help you feel more steady, less reactive, and more in control of your wellbeing.
Natalie, our founder and CEO, is a qualified breathwork coach, yoga teacher, and stress management counsellor. She guides you through each practice with warmth and expertise, giving you the tools to build your own wellbeing toolbox and live with greater calm and clarity.
Why Calming the Nervous System Matters
The nervous system is your body’s command centre, regulating everything from heartbeat and digestion to sleep and emotional balance. With age, stress can affect us more deeply, making it harder to recover from daily challenges. By calming the nervous system, you give your body the chance to rest, repair and restore.
Research shows that a balanced nervous system can improve immune health, lower blood pressure, support sharper memory, and even reduce the risk of falls. These are the foundations of healthy ageing and a longer, more vibrant health span.
What to Expect from the 7-Day Programme
The Calm Your Nervous System programme is accessible to everyone, no matter your level of experience. Over seven days, you will take part in three short daily sessions – morning, afternoon and evening – each lasting just ten minutes.
- Morning sessions start the day with gentle breathwork and affirmations, helping you set a calm and positive intention.
- Afternoon sessions invite you to pause, reset and recharge through guided breathing and relaxation techniques.
- Evening sessions focus on deep rest, using meditation and gratitude practices to prepare your mind and body for restorative sleep.There is no need for special equipment or prior experience, simply a quiet space and an open mind.
Benefits You Can Expect
By the end of the 7 days, many participants notice:
- Reduced stress and anxiety through evidence-based breathing and relaxation techniques
- Improved sleep thanks to calming evening sessions
- Greater emotional balance and less reactivity
- An uplifted mood supported by affirmations and gratitude

For care home staff and carers, this programme also offers an easy, structured way to support residents’ mental and emotional wellbeing.
