This online classroom will also delve into the nervous system, somatic techniques for regulation, poly-vagal theory, window of tolerance, the structure, science and philosophy behind Yoga Nidra as well as exploration and practice of conscious breathing techniques, Restorative Yoga, sleep hygiene and more, in a way that is accessible to everyone.
