Drawing on the Polyvagal Theory and EMDR practices, participants will participate in several exercises, giving them the opportunity to explore what works best for them and their system. Lastly, we will discuss tangible ways to incorporate these and other practices into our daily lives for maximum benefit. Please bring comfy clothes, as well as a yoga mat, blanket or pillow.
