Watching Deb work with a volunteer for a demo is so helpful not only because she is a master at this work but because the viewer gets to hear from both her and Stephen what they believe has happened in the demo at regular intervals. This reinforces the learning beautifully.

Excellent! I learned so much from just sensing the complicity and knowledge of these two wise men.

I loved this course, found it really useful firstly for my own personal development and performance, I feel equipped with better strength to continue my "play" in the times I want to quit or escape from the challenge:) . Having basic knowledge about PVT now, I would love to learn more and further on its application also in the area of team relationship and boundaries. Will look further for events and gatherings:) I appreciate not only the course itself, but the presence of community as well:). Thank you:)

I feel very grateful for this wonderful journey with you. I had no idea that we could explore our depths in a very safe and supportive environment even connected online like this around the world. Thank you so much Jan, you are a great inspiration to me and thank you for all your thoughts and insights that have enriched my life and also my therapeutic practice. Thank you to everyone who participated in this wonderful training. I work as a craniosacral BCST therapist, treating trauma and any type of addiction is my mission. The Focusing method and Polyvagal approaches complement BCST treatment brilliantly. I myself have also undergone a significant self-discovery during these few months, it has changed me a lot. Thank you and I definitely recommend this training to all BCST practitioners. Warmly Inka Ticha, Czech Republic

As a yoga practitioner and teacher, and as an experimental psychologist, this course helped me understand the intersection of science and practice. Dr. Schwartz makes the information accessible and easy to follow and apply immediately. The information was "just enough" to be informative and helpful without requiring excessive time or technical knowledge. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and/or teaching, and to better understand the autonomic nervous system, the role of the vagal nerve in putting the brakes on the stress response, and the ease at which one can access and harness its magnificent power. Many thanks for offering this course and for keeping it to a reasonable length and cost!

I am so grateful for the courage it took to create this course. The interviews were incredibly insightful and provided an important new framework for how we think about "stockholm syndrome." This course made me rethink the whole idea of co-regulation and the appeasement response to trauma.

Such an interesting theory to learn about that makes sense! This course has helped me realize the different reactions the body has to a situation, depending on what polyvagal state they are in. It helps to know it isn't all in our head- but the body. Stephen and Deb are wonderful speakers full of insight.

This was an excellent experience for those interested in learning how yoga philosophy and polyvagal theory support one another. While the content is complex, the presenters took time to explain and model during each well-organized module. There was also opportunity for discussion with other participants, which I need and appreciate as a learner. Most importantly, I learned a structure for applying yoga therapy techniques to better support my clients. I would highly recommend this course for Yoga Therapists who want to take a deeper dive and enhance their practice!
