Grace Under Pressure: Yoga for the Wired and the Weary:
A weekend immersion into the science of the nervous system, the ancient wisdom of yoga, and the inner fire of resilience. Good for up to 20 hours Yoga Alliance Continuing Education or One Unit of Advanced Teacher Training.
Feeling wired by stress or weary from overwhelm?
Join us for a transformative two-day experience that blends breath, movement, and cutting-edge neuroscience to support your nervous system and reset your inner world.
What You’ll Explore:
• The vagus nerve’s vital role in regulating stress, emotion, digestion, and connection
• How cortisol—the “stress hormone”—impacts your body, mind, and recovery
• Powerful tools to calm your system and gently lower cortisol levels
• Huberman Lab–inspired insights: the physiological sigh, cold exposure, and intermittent challenge. Sometimes we don't need to calm...we need to revive!
• Yogic wisdom on resilience: the Gunas, the Kleshas, Polyvagal Theory, and Sisu (Finnish grit)...what makes the Finnish people the happiest in the world?
• The science of post-traumatic growth and the practices that make it possible
What You’ll Practice:
• Breathwork to tone the vagus nerve and calm cortisol (diaphragmatic, alternate nostril, physiologic sigh)
• Gentle and dynamic yoga flows for resilience and regulation
• Somatic sequences, humming, mantra, and simulated cold exposure
• Journaling, group reflection, and ritual-based practices for embodied courage (safe for all faiths)
