Yoga & Your Nervous System Workshop

Service Description

Yoga is a scientific system of various practices that support each other in order to help the practitioner in pursuing a whole and purposeful life. Many of the benefits of yoga can be physically observed such as an increased flexibility, range of motion, balance, coordination and strength. There are also improvements to one’s physiology such as blood pressure, immunoresponses and respiration, just to name a few. And specifically with regards to the functioning of the nervous system, practicing yoga is effective in reducing and managing stress, improving sleep and regulating all the hallmarks of calmness in the body and brain. This two-hour educational, interactive and practical workshop is intended to give you an introduction into the “How?” and “Why?” of a yoga practice as it relates to the components and operations of a human nervous system. There will be presentation of our body’s anatomical structures and their roles, as well as ample time for discussion and questions and an abbreviated asana practice yin-style with brief meditation and breath work incorporated. This workshop is open to yoga teachers and students alike. Participants are encouraged to bring a mat and wear comfy/cozy clothing. Props will be available. Please feel free to bring notetaking materials as well.
