You've Got Some Nerve! Polyvagal Theory and Presence

In this class, Edie will share what she’s learning about the autonomic nervous system through the lens of polyvagal theory (a powerful and practical approach for understanding and working with our nervous system), its deeper  implications for personal and spiritual health and development. Using simple, gentle exercises we will work with our nervous system in real time, to support healthy regulation and flexibility, and participants will discover how working daily with our nervous system in simple but consistent, focused ways can support the emergence of a deeper level of compassion, consciousness, connection and capacity for meeting the real challenges facing us. There will also be time to share questions, discoveries, and insights.

Registrants will be directed to the Wisdom Way class page where they may purchase an individual class ticket for this one class without requirement of prior participation or obligation to join for the entire semester. If you are part of the Wisdom Way class and register for the whole semester, this class is included in your class fee.  Participants should wear comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat or blanket for use in some of the practices. Alternate practices will also be offered for those who do not wish to participate in the floor exercises.
