We know that yoga can help with stress and learning to relax, but do you know why or how? Explore how yoga profounding impacts our nervous system in this 2 hour workshop. We’ll start with an intentional somatic practice then discuss the science behind the yoga.

Yoga can affect change in the somatic nervous system by learning how to divert your mind’s attention, like when you focus on your breath. When you make that voluntary shift, your heart rate slows and this is the first indicator that the body feels safe. Lower respiration rates have immediate effects on the body including reducing blood pressure, heart rate, and even changes in body temperature.
