RECOVERY & THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

A Workshop with Giannina Pomilio

Wednesday 29th July, 7–8pm Home One, Kreuzberg

Most people think recovery is just rest. It's not.

Recovery is a physiological state your body needs to actively shift into and most of us are unknowingly blocking it. In this one-hour session, strength coach Giannina Pomilio breaks down what's actually happening in your body outside the gym, what gets in the way, and gives you practical tools to change it.

You'll learn:
→ What recovery actually means and why most people underestimate it
→ The nervous system — sympathetic vs parasympathetic, and why it matters for adaptation
→ What's happening in your body outside the gym (sleep, repair, adaptation)
→ How your breath affects your nervous system state — and why it's the most accessible recovery tool you have

Plus 2–3 short breathing practices with the group — so you leave with something you can use the same night.
