Neuroscience and Yoga: Regulating the Nervous System through the Practice of Yoga
Saturday, March 15, 2025
9:00 – 12:00 pm & 2:00 – 5:00 pm
Exciting news! With the advent of new technologies, researchers can now see directly into our brain and body and can observe how yoga and mindfulness practices shape our neurobiology and impact on the nervous system. Understanding the yoga practices through the lens of neuroscience enables teachers and students alike to have more agency over their healing and the regulation of their nervous system.
In this workshop we will explore how and why yoga works through an understanding of the intersection of neuroscience, yoga, and psychology. Participants will learn how to improve their ability to self-regulate, manage stress, improve resiliency, and will learn how to activate calm and happy hormones.
Participants will have an opportunity to experience various yoga practices and learn how the practices are positively impacting their neurobiology. Join us to discover what the cutting-edge research on neuroscience and the effects of yoga on the brain have to offer you.
What you’ll learn…
- What research has to say about yoga’s effect on the brain and neuropathways
- How yoga helps to regulate emotions and stress levels
- Why practicing yoga can decrease anxiety, depression, and chronic stress
- How yoga affects both brain chemistry and brain connectivity
All are welcome.
This is a hybrid program, with the option to attend in-person or via Zoom.
