Sensit Yoga of the Nervous and the Endocrine systems | 19-20 October | Athens


This yoga workshop aims at balancing the two main systems that regulate all of our body’s functions and activities, influence our perceptions, shape our moods and direct our decision making.
Stimulating our glands and listening to the workings of our nervous system makes our practice gain depth, helping us to understand and experience important body-mind connections. Observing our inner flows and transitions from moment to moment helps us recognise our impulses and triggers, and enables us to better regulate our reactions. Reflecting on who, and how we are in any given situation, more choices become available to us in responding to the stimulations of our environment.

Part 1 (for everyone) includes:

- Yoga sessions that focus on the fluidity of our inner body, and aim at harmonizing the entire endocrine system. Be ready to move in new ways, combining rolling and spiralling, asana, kryias, using sound and touch, to stimulate and balance the perinneal body, gonads, pancreas, adrenals, heart, thymus, thyroid, pituitary and pineal glands – inspired by Body-mind centering
- Theoretic learning and practical embodiment of the divisions and branches of the nervous system, with particular emphasis on the Polyvagal Theory. We will be recognising our current nervous system state and practicing movements and self-pressure points for balancing the activity of sympathetic system with dorsal and ventral branches of the parasympathetic Vagus nerve.

You will receive notes with the sequences for your continuing personal practice.

In order to have a complete experience, it is strongly recommended that you attend all sessions of Part 1. If this is not possible, individual sessions are an option.

Part 2 (for teachers) includes:

- Hands-on connections to experience the cellular breathing and movement of fluids, inspired by Body-mind centering
- Methodology of teaching Sensit Yoga, including teacher’s own grounding and centering, turning instructions into exploration invitations, us of touch, cues and questions that can deepen the students' experience of themselves, others and their environment.

You will receive notes with sequences for you to expand from in your own teaching direction.
