Nourish Your Nervous System - Session 3

Life comes at you fast...good thing your nervous system is wired to quickly restore you back to balance. Sometimes, the waves come a little too quickly, and the build up may feel like too much to successfully surf, and we end up treading water, which can lead to extreme fatigue. Luckily, there are many resources that can help us recognize imbalance, and offer a path through.  This workshop was designed to give you a variety of tools to choose from while empowering you with knowledge from modern neuroscience, and Yogic philosophy.

Each session will contain an informative dharma talk, relevant practice, and take-home inquiry.  These sessions can be attended separately, or all together. Each session will be recorded, and shared with attendees.

Session 1 December 1st: Your Nervous System 101

We will break down the basics of your nervous system, and the stress response. Our practice will be an Asana based practice to ground our bodies, and calm the nervous system. The asana practice will be a mixed levels flow, with modifications offered.

Session 2 December 8th: The Yoga Sutras + The Mind (Manos)

We will dive into the Yoga Sutras and discover what Patanjali said about the mystic mind, and the ways in which we mentally stand in our own way.  Our practice will be Meditation and Inquiry based, with some gentle movement to help us sit more easefully.

Session 3 December 15th: Yoga Nidra - A Special Brain State

I don’t want to call one session my favorite but….Yoga Nidra is the bridge between modern neuroscience and the ancient practices. We will learn the fundamentals of this special brain state of Yoga Nidra, and then experience the practice.
