sacred SOMATICS: kundalini yoga + the vagus nerve
WORKSHOP Series ~ STARTING FALL 2025
In this practical and powerful offering, we will explore some of the ancient wisdom of Kundalini Yoga through the lens of modern science and Applied Polyvagal Theory. Workshop dates are Third Sundays (9.21, 10.19 + 11.16) from 4-6PM at Empathic Practice and on Zoom. The Vagus Nerve, often called the “Highway of Love” and the “Central Tuning String” of the body, is the largest cranial nerve and the most complex nerve in the human body. It’s responsible for much of our mind-body connection. Learn how the sacred practice of Kundalini yoga impacts this complex information channel, resulting in increased vagal tone. Some of the benefits of Kundalini yoga and vagal toning:
higher awareness / mindfulness
higher resilience for stress, change and challenge
higher capacity for rest, recharge and recovery
improved emotional regulation and mental state
increased heart rate variability
higher executive functioning
reduced pain and inflammation
promotes homeostasis and optimal conditions for healing
promotes feelings of love, joy and belonging
promotes relaxation / a sense of ease and well-being
expands empathy / compassion for self and others
produces elevated states of consciousness and other mystical spiritual experiences.
Each workshop will include an educational piece, with fresh perspectives and application through the practices. Workshops can be done in singles or as a full series. $33 per workshop, $99 for the full series. Space is limited, so advanced registration is required. I only have 8 spots available in person and the remaining spots are available via Zoom.
