We appreciate advance registration.Join Claudia Bartsch, C-IAYT, for an immersive exploration into the science and felt-sense of the nervous system. This 3-hour workshop blends the insights of Polyvagal Theory with the embodied wisdom of yoga, breath, and mindful movement to help you understand, sense, and regulate your own physiological state.
Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, explores how the nervous system constantly shifts between states of safety, connection, and protection—and how these shifts shape your emotions, behaviors, and relationships. By learning to recognize and work skillfully with these states, you can restore balance, resilience, and ease.
The workshop begins with a lecture and discussion to demystify how the nervous system influences emotional and mental states, as well as patterns of connection. From there, Claudia will guide you through experiential practices designed to help you:
• Recognize your own nervous system states
• Increase body awareness and interoception (the ability to feel internal sensations)
• Use movement, breath, and mindful attention to regulate and balance your system
• Begin to rewire habitual stress responses toward greater calm, resilience, and presence
• Integrate these practices into daily life for a healthier, more centered nervous system
This is more than a lecture—it’s a visceral experience of your body’s innate capacity for balance and self-regulation.
No prior yoga experience is required. All levels are welcome. This workshop will be recorded for later viewing and shared for 2 weeks with all enrolled students.
