Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery Certificate
DECEMBER 7TH, 2024 - FEBRUARY 9TH, 2025
There is an undeniable correlation between stress, trauma, and our health. To better understand its connection we must turn our attention to the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve can be thought of as a bi-directional information highway that communicates between the mind and body. Imbalances in the vagus nerve and physiology of the autonomic nervous system can lead to feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or dissociation.
Stimulating the vagus nerve helps to regulate both sympathetic hyper-arousal and parasympathetic hypo-arousal. The best ways to naturally modulate these nervous responses are through breath and movement. This certification program explores the benefits of Therapeutic Yoga and Applied Polyvagal Theory as related to trauma recovery.
