Co-Regulation Matters!
Deepen your relating skills using fun, easy
Body Up! Co-Regulation practices.
We will cover basic polyvagal theory and skills and practices that help you drop into your body, feel more connected with others and start co-regulating, from the body up.
This work integrates new information from interpersonal neurobiology with established somatic practices including Somatic Experiencing, Bodynamics, and Kundalini Yoga. We can have embodied connection with each other even with physical distancing or online. Embodied resonance and attunement nurture our nervous systems, our immune systems and our mental health. Embodied relating is nourishing whether we can touch or not.
