Flo State: The Biology of Safety

Hosted by Dear Ovary in collaboration with KCL Scrub the Stigma and KCL Yoga Society

We talk a lot about managing stress, but what if the real question is whether your body feels safe?

Flow State: The Biology of Safety explores how the nervous system, hormones, and body awareness shape the way we experience stress and recovery.

In this workshop, you’ll learn and feel:

• How your autonomic nervous system distinguishes threat from safety (your body’s built-in “calm switch”)
• The role of hormones in stress sensitivity and resilience
• How gentle yoga and breathwork can activate your body’s natural regulation systems

Through a combination of science-informed discussion, reflective exercises, and guided yoga, participants will notice how stress shows up in their bodies and discover ways to restore calm and safety (no prior yoga or science experience required!).

Who it’s for:
Students curious about women’s health, neuroscience, and embodied wellbeing.
