Yoga teaches us that we are each born whole, complete, and perfect!! Due to our many life experiences we tend to forget this state of wholeness, we forget who we truly are, and we get lost in our physical, mental, and emotional reactions to life. It is important for us to remember that the human nervous system simply cannot evolve at the rapid pace that society and technology has. Hopefully through what you learn in this workshop you can begin to extend yourself a bit more grace during natural moments of challenge and upset.
During this experiential workshop we will utilize a holistic and traditional approach. Working with breath-work techniques alongside intuitive Yin, Yoga Nidra, sound healing, and shaking meditation to reset the nervous system back to a state of ease and relaxation.
We’ll begin with a brief exploration of how a holistic Yoga practice impacts the nervous system. We’ll delve into multiple techniques, unpacking each one before putting them into practice.
We’ll explore:
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM: Learn about the different aspects of the nervous system, the basic functions, & how to gauge when your nervous system is out of balance.
THE PANCHA KOSHA THEORY: Learn about & experience the 5 layers of Being: Physical, Energetic, Mental/Emotional, Intuitive, & Spiritual. Learn practices to work with each layer.
THE MAHA VAYUS: Learn about & experience the 5 main energetics within, the Vayus (or Pranas): Grounding, Uplifting, Centering/Balancing, Expansion, & Connection to the Whole. Learn pranayama (breathing) techniques to connect to each one.
My hope is that through this workshop you’ll acquire a wide array of simple yet profound tools that you can skillfully use as you learn to access your current state of being and what your needs truly are.
