Do you avoid social situations because they make you feel anxious? Do you worry about meeting new people, speaking in groups, or replay conversations in your mind long after they've ended?

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Social anxiety is one of the most common human experiences, yet it is something many people struggle with quietly.

This workshop is designed to support anyone who experiences social anxiety, from occasional feelings of nervousness to ongoing challenges that impact everyday life.

During this workshop, we will explore:

• What social anxiety is and why it happens.

• How anxiety affects our thoughts, emotions and body.

• Practical breathing and grounding techniques to help regulate anxiety.

• Tools to manage anxious thoughts and feel more confident in social situations.

• A supportive space to learn, reflect and connect with others.

Feeling nervous about attending a workshop alone is completely normal, especially when the topic is social anxiety. In fact, many people who attend our events come by themselves with the hope of meeting new people and building genuine connections.

Koru Wellness is a partner of Sydney Girls Connect, a women’s community in Sydney focused on creating supportive, welcoming and wholesome connections. Our events are designed to be a space where you feel welcomed and feel supported throughout the experience.

Many people arrive solo, and you won’t be the only one.

The breathing techniques used in this workshop are practical tools designed to support you in everyday situations. They are based on functional breathing practices and are focused on helping you feel more grounded, and manage moments of anxiety.

This is not an intense breathwork experience or an emotional release session. Instead, you will learn simple techniques that you can take with you and use in real-life situations.
