About the event
This is a body based course and explores how we can use psycho-education, yoga, movement and embodiment tools to support resource and regulation in our autonomic nervous system. It is a foundational course that uses Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Experiencing® principles as a lens to understand our own system and offers tools that might be helpful in creating stability, grounding, regulation and resource. The aim of this course is to help each participant understand how they could begin to create more stability and safety inside their own body. No previous experience of yoga is necessary. The practices are simple and accessible to all.
