Yoga - Applied Anatomy - Breathwork – Integration Techniques - Emotional Anatomy - Yoga Nidra
with Adam Divine & Viriam Kaur
We live in a world where we are always switched on and many people are suffering from burn-out. Working with the Vagus Nerve is a key way to activate the Parasympathetic Nervous System, creating balance and conscious healing.
Higher vagal tone is linked to physical and psychological wellbeing. The vagus nerve is a bundle of nerves starting at the top of the spinal cord. It activates different organs throughout the body (including the heart, lungs, liver and digestive organs). People with high vagal tone have improved immunity, cell regeneration and deal with stressful situations in a more conscious way. They are even more in-tune with their gut instincts.
In this two-day workshop, we will activate the Vagus Nerve through asana, breathwork, meditation, hands-on integration techniques and yoga nidra – essentially creating body awareness and deep relaxation. We will also discuss the nature of compassion and loving-kindness in relation to Patanjali and cultivating our own capacity for deeper connection.
The Dalai Lama said that the seat of compassion is biological and is necessary for survival.
