Our nervous system is constantly shaping how we experience the world—influencing our thoughts, emotions, physiology, and behavior through an extraordinary intelligence designed to help us adapt, connect, and survive.
In this experiential three-part workshop series, you'll be introduced to the foundations of Polyvagal Theory through the lens of yoga. Learn to recognize different nervous system states, explore the remarkable role of the vagus nerve, and discover practical yogic tools that cultivate greater balance, resilience, and well-being.
Blending modern neuroscience with the timeless wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda, each workshop combines accessible education with movement, breathwork, meditation, and guided self-inquiry. Together, we'll explore where these traditions intersect and how listening to the wisdom of your nervous system can become a pathway toward greater awareness, healing, and living more fully in alignment with your true self.
