About the Workshop
We will talk about the vagus nerve, the autonomic nervous system, and polyvagal theory and its benefits. We will discuss ways to incorporate polyvagal theory into your yoga practice, and/or teaching, and why.
We will spend 3 wonderful hours together learning about how and why we should use the wisdom of Stephen Porges’s polyvagal theory in our yoga practice and in our teaching.
You will learn many ways to add to yoga in order to encourage healing and balance in our lives. Polyvagal theory has helped balance my life. I sincerely hope that this workshop will help you live a more peaceful and balanced life, as well.
This workshop will include anatomy and physiology, discussion of yoga and polyvagal theory, and a bit of yoga. The yoga practice itself will be gentle, limited and accessible to all. No one has to participate in the practice, and can complete the workshop happily and completely without any asana/yoga pose practice at all. Everyone and all abilities are welcome and encouraged to attend. If you have any questions about accessibility or content, please send an email to ruthie@ruthiegoldman.com.
Part of the Yoga Took Kit Series. Each workshop provides tools for teachers to enhance their teaching and tools for students to make their practice more grounded and easeful.
