ORLEANS YOGA, https://www.orleansyoga.com/events/yoga-for-emotional-self-regulation-workshop

The ability to self-regulate is the process of not reacting to the stimuli of our environment, but rather taking a pause and allowing space to respond in a socially acceptable manner. This enables us to connect. This empowers us to be heard

This is a content-based workshop that will review concepts and theories that support, promote and act as the foundation for an emotionally balancing practice. It will provide an understanding of how to utilize your yoga practice to regulate your nervous system. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and yoga philosophy, participants will leave with a greater depth of knowledge as to why yoga can be beneficial for mental health.
