In this transformative workshop, we'll explore the intricate relationship between your nervous system and yoga practice. Drawing from both cutting-edge neuroscience and ancient yogic wisdom, you'll discover how to consciously shift between states of activation and deep rest. We'll delve into the polyvagal theory, learning how your autonomic nervous system responds to safety and threat, and how yoga can help build resilience and regulation.
Through experiential learning, you'll practice specific breathing techniques, movements, and meditations designed to tone your vagus nerve and develop greater nervous system flexibility. Learn to recognize signs of sympathetic activation and parasympathetic withdrawal in yourself and others, while developing practical tools for returning to balance.
