Trauma & The Nervous System
Learn
how your brain is wired to respond to danger, and how overwhelming
experiences can cause us to get stuck in
danger-response mode. This class will include some experiential
activities to help you feel how to monitor and consciously affect your
own nervous system. (Note, this class is not intended to treat severe emotional trauma. I am happy to provide a referral to a trained therapist.)

- How your perception of the world creates your posture
- Awareness of key zones in your body that shape alignment
- How to change your habits without self-criticism
