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.

Originally from Germany, Claudia has been studying and teaching yoga for over 25 years. With more than 2,000 hours of formal training, she brings a strong foundation in the classical traditions of yoga together with innovative, therapeutic approaches.

Certified as a Yoga Therapist in 2016, she is deeply dedicated to facilitating holistic healing. In her work, she specializes in supporting individuals navigating mental, emotional, or physical challenges by adapting yoga practices to meet their unique conditions and needs.

In addition, she is a Certified Stress Management Educator, empowering individuals to cultivate resilience and inner calm through mindful, evidence-informed practices. She also holds certifications as a Shiatsu and Reiki Practitioner, modalities that complement the integrative, body-centered approach she brings to her work.

To further deepen her understanding of cognitive and mental health, she became a Brain Longevity Specialist through the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation in 2022.

Her approach weaves together ancient wisdom and modern science to support balance, healing, and authentic well-being.

“Embrace the signal of sadness without losing yourself in the struggle.”

Sadness is a passive, dysphoric emotion that drains energy, disarms us, and inhibits action. However, on a deeper level, it serves as a signal—either to ourselves or to others—that we need support or comfort. It also prompts healing: only when we allow ourselves to feel sadness for our actions can we genuinely begin to repair the situation or restore the relationships affected.

Yoga Therapy Tools to Manage and Regulate Sadness offers practical, body-centered techniques to help you meet this emotion with compassion and awareness. Through guided self inquiry, breathwork, mindful movement, and grounding practices, you’ll learn to work with sadness—not suppress it—creating space for healing, emotional regulation, and resilience. This guide supports your journey back to balance, helping you reconnect with your inner resources in a safe, embodied way.

The fact that grief is a normal reaction to loss doesn’t make it any easier to go through. Even though it is thought to be mostly emotional, grief also presents specific physical and spiritual symptoms. Yoga for Grief Relief is a somatic psychotherapeutic protocol using Yoga techniques to address the physical, mental and spiritual symptoms of grief towards the re-identification process that follows an important loss.

This combination of theoretical lecture and experiential work can help the heart of anyone who is grieving a loss or those working with them.
