SELF CARE CLASS: Gentle Yoga for the Nervous System: A movement practice to befriend your body and restore a sense of safety and resilience in your tissues

Gentle Yoga for the Nervous System combines breath, movement, and body-awareness practices to help you witness, understand, and regulate your nervous system. Trauma and chronic stress keep us stuck in the past and projecting into the future. In this class we explore deeply what it means to be here now. In this present moment we can listen to the wisdom of the nervous system which has its own way of interpreting information and healing. Moment by moment, we cultivate our capacity to be with ourselves and our various nervous system states so that we can ride the ups and downs of life with resilience, kindness and curiosity.
