Join me online this Tuesday or Wednesday morning some great Therapeutic Yoga! Here’s what I’ve got on the menu this week:
Tues. Feb. 11th - 9:30-10:45am
Vagus Yoga for Up-regulation:
Relieving Depression & Dissociation
In this class we discuss Polyvagal Theory as we learn to understand what is happening in our nervous system when we are experiencing sadness, depression, a lack of motivation, grief, hopelessness, numbness, or dissociation. All of these emotional experiences happen within the part of our nervous system which controls our 'fawn, freeze, or play dead' instincts and has evolved to help us survive trauma or difficult experiences. Learn to understand the wisdom contained within this oldest evolutionary construct of your nervous system, and learn what causes us to get 'stuck' in these emotional experiences when this system become over-engaged or out of balance. Most importantly, we will learn an array of techniques that will help to 'upregulate' your nervous system, helping you to get unstuck, able to create closure, regain motivation, increase your energy, and get moving back into a healthy mental state of peace and ease.
Wed. Feb. 12th - 9:30-10:45am
Upper Back & Shoulders
Do you get tightness, pain, or cramping between your shoulder blades? Do your neck and shoulders feel stiff and sore? Do you work or spend your day in a primarily seated or hunched forward position? If so, then this class is for you!
In this class we will take a look at the posture and mobility of our upper backs and shoulders, and learn to assess which areas have become 'long-locked', causing them to experience excess strain, fatigue, and weakness. We will also explore which tissues have become 'short-locked' and are now resisting your body's ability to find balance and ease of posture. We will learn techniques to correct both areas and help them find their way back to a place of integrated equilibrium, restoring healthy mobility and function while reducing pain and strain.
