Discover an exciting new way to practice and teach yoga through the lens of neuroscience in this 3-hour experiential online workshop.

Neuro-Yoga Hatha combines current nervous-system research with ancient yogic practices. Each posture, breath, and sound is intentionally selected to help you understand and work with your brain and nervous system to cultivate vagus nerve regulation for greater calmness.

In this experiential workshop, you’ll explore what happens when movement is guided by the nervous system. Through targeted Neuro-Yoga sequences, breathing practices, and guided rest you’ll learn how to:

• Experience deeper states of peace and relaxation in your system
• Impact on better sleep, improve mood states, and feel more calm
• Listen to your body’s signals and respond with greater awareness
• Implement Neuro-Yoga practices in your everyday life

You’ll leave with your own Neuro-Yoga Hatha toolkit—short, simple practices you can use almost anywhere to help settle, reset, and reconnect with a calmer nervous system in just a few minutes.

Open to all levels and bodies. No previous yoga experience is required.
Please bring comfortable clothing, a yoga mat, and a blanket.

This workshop will be recorded and available to all enrolled students for two weeks.

Our intuition often speaks through sensation—a nudge, a whisper, a feeling, and even through dreams. But what happens in the brain and nervous system when we experience these subtle signals, and how do we learn to recognize and discern these sacred signals?

Join Dr. Mala for an experiential workshop exploring what neuroscience, psychology, and the yogic tradition reveal about intuition, attention, and the power of sacred silence. We’ll look at how stress, distraction, and constant stimulation can dull our ability to notice subtle internal signals—and how practices of stillness and mindful awareness can create space for greater clarity and insight.

Through teaching, reflection, and guided silent practice, you’ll be introduced to neuro-meditation practices that cultivate a calmer, more receptive state of awareness. Topics include alpha brain-wave activity, the relationship between the nervous system and intuitive experience, and how PINE practices (awareness areas) can cultivate intuitive awareness.

You’ll leave with practical skills for quieting the brain and nervous system, discerning intuitive signals, and creating the conditions in which intuition and sacred insight can emerge.

This workshop will be recorded and available to all enrolled students for two weeks.
