Reset your nervous system and learn self-regulation & stress-releasing practices inspired by neuroscience, yoga and Chinese medicine!

Theme of the 2-workshop series is RESILIENCE - the ability to bounce back and recover after stress, strain and difficulties. To become stronger both mentally and physically.
 

• What role does the vagus nerve play in health and well-being?
• What is the difference between vagus nerve stimulation and actually building resilience in the nervous system?
• How to choose self-regulation tools for any situation (and what kind of practices you can use)
• What does research say about yoga’s effects on nervous system health?
• How can yoga help you heal your nervous system and what kind of elements are essential in the practice for this purpose?
   

The practice is a combination of some more dynamic yang-style warm-ups and a yin yoga class focusing on building a stronger vagal tone (activation of the vagus nerve). You balance the functioning of the nervous system, increase its dynamics and strengthen the activation of the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system branch.

Welcome to explore the convergences of research and yogic tradition!

Workshop includes:

• Experiential lecture on vagus nerve (we go through the entire vagus nerve pathway with targeted practices for self-regulation and nervous system balance)
• Yin yoga class with yang elements that balances the functioning of your autonomic nervous system, increases its dynamics and strengthens your ability to let go and relax (2 hours)

The workshop does not require previous experience in yoga but is designed for all levels. Also for yoga teachers.
