Arielle Schwartz & Deb Dana – Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery – Level 1

Description Of Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery – Level 1

Stress and trauma can lead to imbalances in the physiology of the autonomic nervous system. If these imbalances are left unaddressed, they can lead to mental and physical health problems.

Maybe you are a therapist or yoga instructor who works to support the well-being of others. In either case, this course is developed to support you.

Each level comprises 10 hours of study. Each 2.5-hour gathering focuses on encouraging your sense of connection in a caring online community, offers teaching about Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery, and guides you through an experiential yoga practice.

You are invited to step into a journey of empowerment, to learn the power of Applied Polyvagal Theory to heal & release trauma and to engage in a quest for wholeness.

Join Arielle Schwartz, PhD, CCTP-II, E-RYT, internationally sought-out teacher, therapeutic yoga instructor, and leading voice in the healing of PTSD and complex trauma as she guides you through therapeutic yoga for trauma through the lens of polyvagal theory.
