Self-Regulation: Creating Habits of Ease - 4 week series - with Teresa Posakony

Trauma and stress impact our nervous system, brain, health, and epigenetics. Trauma impacts the developing brain and can set up a cascade of effects across the health and life trajectory.

The restorative practices of Self-Regulation allow us to care for the nervous system and brain - restoring our natural wholeness, wellbeing, and brilliance. We come out of survival mode. When we feel safe and connected the body enters the restorative state of self-regulation. We share our calm with others through co-regulation.

Course Objectives:

• Balance your nervous system and care for your organs, including the brain.
• Experience the restorative power of your breath.
