Connecting with Ourselves on the Mat
Polyvagal Theory Informed Yoga
In my practice, yoga transcends the physical realm—it becomes a sanctuary where we reconnect with our bodies, wisdom, and inner rhythms. Drawing from polyvagal theory, my approach emphasizes creating a safe space where you can listen to your body as the ultimate guide.
Yoga, thus, isn't just about physical postures; it's a profound journey that integrates polyvagal theory to enhance both physical and emotional well-being. By understanding how our nervous system responds to stress and relaxation, we create a nurturing environment where yoga becomes a tool for resilience and self-discovery.
Explore Our Aliveness
Polyvagal theory-informed practices not only promote strength and flexibility but also deepen our connection with ourselves. On the mat, we cultivate a sense of safety and comfort, making it a sanctuary where we can find solace during challenging moments. Here, we learn to listen to our bodies, allowing postures to unfold naturally as we honor our inner rhythms.
The Practice as
Resource
This approach transforms the yoga mat into more than just a physical space—it becomes a source of playfulness and empowerment, where we feel safe enough, connected enough, and comfortable enough to explore our inner landscapes. Through this journey, we foster embodied compassion and strengthen our trust in our sense of self.
