This workshop is for floor-based bodyworkers (Thai Yoga Massage, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic massage etc) and Yoga therapists, or if you work with hands-on adjustments and touch, and are increasingly attracting clients dealing with more complex issues, such as pain, chronic conditions or trauma. You are working with people who are looking for support in their personal healing and growth process. These people are in need of more than just a relaxing treatment or a good stretch. This is where we need to understand and work directly with the Autonomic Nervous System and the Vagus Nerve.

In this workshop you will learn:

The 101 on the Polyvagal Theory
The role of the Vagus Nerve when dealing with challenging situations
The anatomy and functioning of the Vagus Nerve
Techniques and bodywork moves to promote Vagal tone and how to help regulate the nervous system
How to invigorate the craniosacral system
How to improve communication in the body
How to hone your listening skills through your touch
How to hold a safe space

After a short theory session and some discussion, most of the afternoon we will spend practicing on each other. By the end you will have a sequence/selection of techniques you will be able to incorporate into your existing work supporting your clients. A hand-out will be provided.
