Series Description:
After completing my certification in Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery with Dr. Arielle Schwartz and an additional Trauma Informed Somatic Yin Yoga Teacher training, I am excited to offer my second six week embodied series. Each session includes gentle yoga, breathwork, and embodiment exercises designed to help regulate the nervous system, release trauma stored in the body, and foster resilience. Participants will leave with practical tools for emotional regulation, nervous system support, and self-connection.
To better understand the connection between stress, trauma, and overall health, it is important to focus on the vagus nerve and its bi-directional communication highway between the mind and body. When the vagus nerve and autonomic nervous system are out of balance, it can lead to feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, shutdown or dissociation. Stimulating the vagus nerve can help regulate both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. By using breath and movement we can restore balance and help our nervous system become more resilient. Through these embodied practices we can learn to move through these two states without getting stuck in either fight or flight or freeze and shutdown.In this 6-week series, we’ll explore:
-A foundational understanding of your nervous system and its relevance to trauma recovery-Gentle yoga techniques to support the nervous system and promote emotional regulation-Practical tools to shift from fight, flight, or freeze into states of connection and calm-Insights into the vagus nerve and its role in healing and emotional regulation -Techniques to release trauma or stress stored in the body, fostering balance and self-compassion-A path to renew connection with your body. This series is open to all levels of yoga experience and welcomes anyone interested in trauma-informed healing. Whether you’ve experienced trauma, are trying to cope with a stressful time, are seeking a deeper connection with your body, or are a wellness practitioner looking to expand your knowledge, this space is designed to support and nurture you.
Limited Spaces Available: This class is limited to 8 participants to allow time for opening and closing shares and to provide enhanced attention and support.I look forward to creating a safe, healing space for connection and growth together.
