Unwinding the Nervous System, A Polyvagal-Informed Movement Workshop to explore Core Modalities:

• Foundations of Polyvagal Informed Practice
• Yin Yoga
• Forrest Yoga (trauma-informed principles)

Workshop description:
Your nervous system is always working, scanning for safety and scanning for threat, often keeping you in a state of low-grade survival long after the actual stress has passed. This workshop offers a gentle introduction to Polyvagal Theory through the language of movement. We will explore what it feels like when your nervous system is in connection, protection, or shutdown and how movement can help you shift states with curiosity rather than force. Using the slow, held postures of Yin Yoga to access deep connective tissue and the trauma-informed approach of Forrest Yoga to build embodied awareness, you will leave with practical tools to recognize and regulate your own nervous system. No experience needed. Just a willingness to notice.
