Improv for Anxiety Workshop

Saturday, November 2nd - 10am to 1:30pm

in Partnership with Comprehenself Counseling

3919 Blenheim Blvd, 83-C, Fairfax, VA

Anxiety is a common challenge, and this wellness-based workshop offers a unique approach to managing it. Through improv-based exercises, participants will learn to navigate their anxiety, whether it manifests as social anxiety, stage fright, or general anxiety. Improvisation provides a transformative learning experience, empowering individuals to confront their anxiety in a safe and creative environment.

During the workshop, attendees will engage in a series of foundational improv exercises designed to foster acceptance, non-judgment, and mindfulness. These tools will enable them to effectively manage the thoughts and emotions that often stand in the way of living a fulfilling life.

We will discover healing pathways and practical strategies for self-improvement, equipping participants with the skills to lead more peaceful and resilient lives.

Our Mission:

Reflex Improv’s mission is to make improv accessible and available to everyone in a welcoming and accepting community where everyone can play, create, and laugh together freely without judgement.

What Our Students Are Saying:

Joined the Thursday jam and everyone was so warm and welcoming. Great fun playing with improvisers I had never met before. Everything just flowed. Total YES! And...

The world would be a kinder, more peaceful place if we followed the improv rules in every interaction: make everyone else look good; have everyone else's back; respond with agreement by saying "Yes...and..."

Every member of the group feels supported enough to take risks. I could not ask for a more welcoming and supportive group of improvisers to learn and laugh alongside, making Reflex classes the highlights of each week.

Reflex Improv provides a safe and fun way to learn ways of improv, and I look forward to class each week... After the first class, I slept better than I have in months. I'm hooked!

Improv is so much fun! Classes are friendly and supportive and I look forward to the laughs each week. The bonus is that the "yes, and" carries over - I've become more flexible and easy going in my daily life. Thank you Reflex Improv!

Trying something new like improv can be scary but you always feel safe and supported with Reflex Improv and you're guaranteed to laugh each class, which is mood-lifting!

Everyone is super relaxed and full of joy. If you have a hectic life, then I recommend you give the intro classes a shot. You can thank me later!

"Every week, it's two hours of laughing, while challenging myself creatively at the same time. I've walked into improv class in a variety of moods, but I've only walked out of improv class in a great mood!"

The skills I learned and developed in Reflex Improv was instrumental in my applying YES AND to my business and life!

A great way to unwind from a stressful life! Just get together and goof off and laugh with your friends for a little while every week! It's an incredible break and really fun. There's no pressure to be "good." We just HAVE FUN!

Quarantine and improv? Yes please! This is a fun way to maintain some sanity at home during this time. Great group of people makes for fun Zoom sessions!

Reflex Improv has done a wonderful job of setting up outdoor improv classes in a way that respects social distancing. It's lots of fun!

Even someone with no experience in performance can begin to feel at home, because while in group everyone has your back, helping, supporting, feeding you information and nurturing your response. It can be a very organic thing, this improv, and a great feeling, when you know you've just made a connection with another person. Satisfying, is what it is..

Zoom Improv is a great way to unwind from Work and Pandemic stress. It’s a great way to connect with new people and make comedy while you’re social-distancing!

Reflex Improv is a wonderful group to play with - friendly, inclusive and just a whole bag of fun.
