Description

The vagus nerve is the body’s longest cranial nerve and serves as a central communication pathway between the brain and many internal organs. In recent years, it has become a key concept in modern understandings of stress, well-being, and emotional regulation.

In this workshop, participants will gain:

• A nuanced understanding of why the vagus nerve has become both controversial and fascinating

• Insight into polyvagal theory and its contributions to understanding relational safety and bodily states

• Knowledge of what modern neuroscience actually reveals about the vagus nerve and the autonomic nervous system

Theory is translated into practice through polyvagal-inspired and neuroregulatory exercises, which strengthen:

• Balance

• Interoception

• Body awareness

• Emotional regulation

Instructor
