It’s well accepted that yoga can be a great support for nervous system regulation, and that this is much needed in today’s busy world. Throughout this course you’ll deepen your understanding of the nervous system, stress and trauma, as well as subtle body energetics, exploring the link between what we experience in our brains and the rest of our body.

As you learn about the science of nervous system regulation, you’ll explore body based practices, somatic movement, yoga, pranayama and meditation to up and down regulate, in order to return to balance. You’ll also gain an appreciation for teaching in a way that’s trauma and mental health aware, in order to create safe classes that allow students to fully experience the benefits of the practice
