Learn how your brain is wired to respond to danger, and how overwhelming experiences can cause us to get stuck in the danger-response mode. You'll understand the basic biological reasons for emotions and gain compassion for yourself and others.This class includes learning to feel how to monitor and consciously affect your own nervous system, as well as how to use mindfulness to heal trauma. This material is very relevant to yoga, Aikido and other martial arts, spirituality, and every type of personal growth work.

Appropriate for the public, yet also will have enough juicy information to be relevant for practitioners of all types. This class is not intended to treat severe trauma; upon request I can provide a referral to a trained therapist.

Past participants called this class "simple but life-changing."

$10-$20 sliding scale, registration required
