This workshop will help participants to build a practical toolbox for navigating their nervous systems. We will combine nervous system education, self-reflection, and yoga practices with somatic understanding and explore the question- how do we get our hands on the handles of our own nervous system? Each person is an ongoing and evolving combination of our genetics, environment, and experience. Our nervous systems can be engaged and worked with and we can become the “first responders” to support our own nervous system regulation.

This program aims to help you explore through a yogic lens, what best supports, encourages, and helps you and your nervous system to flourish and sustain itself. We will use this weekend to engage with our own nervous system, using practices like yoga, meditation, and movement to ask the questions- how does this make me feel? What supports my nervous system in my own experience and in my life? What parts of the ashram experience might help me every day? What can I take off the mat and into my daily life?

This Program Includes:

  • Nervous system education to help participants better understand and engage with their own nervous systems
  • Exploration of the effect of yoga on the Vagus Nerve
  • Experience with multiple modalities to regulate the nervous system- yoga, breathwork, meditation, sound therapy, writing, and more
  • Participation in the Ashram life and schedule to help inform and support personal nervous system regulation
  • A Befriending Your Nervous System Workbook built from students own reflection and experiences to take home
