Vital Roots - Including the Pelvis in Yoga Therapy

Sunday 12:30 - 2:30

Scope and ethics discussion, what is embodied consent, simple-profound self-touch pelvic mapping and movement for improved grounding, regulation, breathing & movement function, integration of self - WHY include the pelvis/baseline screening/ed for pelvic floor? Pelvic Floor issues are highly correlated with one of the most prevalent causes of disability and doctor visits worldwide - low back pain, among other reasons. Could this be a missing link for many people?

Dynamic Polyvagal Play 

 

Sunday 2:30 - 4:00

​

Every interaction with our students is a transmission of co-regulation - the human, heart to heart task of being with each other and creating rapport. Our embodiment as the teacher sets the tone, like a tuning fork for our client. Understand your nervous system and social patterns through the wisdom of non-hierarchical polyvagal applications and explore somatic practices alone and with a partner or group to tap into a deeper well of unconditional presence and brave connection in your therapeutic work
