Learn to Thrive: A Deep Dive into Yin Yoga and Your Nervous System

with Sara Feley, MA, LMFT, EMDR level 1, PACT level 1, YTT

Sunday, 1pm-4pm, August 25, 2024

Spend a compelling Sunday afternoon exploring the complex, life- sustaining qualities of the autonomic nervous systems. The workshop will incorporate an experiential lecture, playful community-building, gentle movement, restorative yin yoga postures, and breathing practices designed to release stress. Finally, Sara Feley will guide the group into experiencing the benefits-and sometimes the challenges-of a period of sustained stillness.

As the members of the group investigate their internal neurological mapping and gain insight into how they themselves-with practice-can cultivate feelings of calm, they will learn that they can return to this state again and again and again. And that feelings of calm will open the way to feelings of thriving.

All participants will leave the experience with ideas and techniques that they can explore at home.

Appropriate for all levels.
