Take a journey into your body and learn about The Vagus Nerve, anatomy and function and why everyone’s talking about it. Yoga and Somatic Practices are widely accepted as tools to help with affecting your vagal nerve tone. Discover why they are so important in this era of Anxiety, Over Stimulation, ADHD, Trauma, Neurological Issues and Nervous System Dysregulation. Gain a deeper insight into why living in a dysregulated body, is cause for concern, is a growing epidemic and how Somatics can change the way you live and move through this world. Learn how to cultivate a deeply grounded and peaceful soma, feel at ease and comfortable in your body. Realize your Somatic Intelligence and be forever awakened. We do not recognize the stark impacts of stress, often until it is too late, and we are then damaged. Discover your sixth sense (some call Proprioception, although I believe should be inclusive of Interoception also) and detect bodily issues sooner. Change your perception that this damage is irreparable. You CAN heal your body, relieve pain, diminish aches and chronic pains significantly if not entirely and increase your quality of life. In just one workshop. |
