Befriending Your Nervous System

The workshop aims to help participants build a practical toolbox for navigating their nervous systems.  We will combine nervous system education, self-reflection, and yoga practices to explore the question- how do we get our hands on the handles of our own nervous system? Our nervous systems can be engaged and worked with and we can become the “first responders” to support our own nervous system regulation.  By “befriending” and knowing our nervous system, we create fertile ground to grow from and face life’s greater challenges.

This class aims to help you explore through yoga and other practices, what best supports, encourages, and helps you and your nervous system to flourish and sustain itself.  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? We hope you can join us in this weekend of education, exploration, and relaxation.

I cannot say enough good things about the Trauma Informed Yoga Program. I attended because I was in need of healing due to having had a past trauma triggered. Raji and Vivekan are the best. I cannot wait for the next one when I can deal with my lesser issues. Satya
