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!
