Workshop: Relaxation Response, The Vagus Nerve and Yoga

11am - 1pmCST - let’s continue the exploration of this incredible, fascinating relaxation response facilitator!

This interactive and fun workshop utilizes conversational lectures and practical exercises to help you better understand how yoga and the vagus nerve can help you regulate both your emotional and physical states, resulting in better health and more happiness in life.

If you, done Joseph’s first vagus nerve workshop, this one will add plenty of new information. If your new to the topic, we’ll review all the basics too.

The Vagus Nerve regulates and relaxes the major systems of the body. It is possible to tap into this power to experience increased connection to innate flow states and the relaxation response. This can result in increased presence, as well as psychological and physical well being.

You will learn how to apply guided imagery, meditation, vocal techniques, and breathwork. You will leave with a working knowledge of the parasympathetic nervous system and how to use it to modify the state of the mind and body.

About Joseph:

Joseph Armstrong teaches yoga with feet planted firmly in tradition and gaze turned towards the future. His search for a more present and peaceful life first led him to the practice in 2008. A few years later he was in India, studying intensively.

After finally overcoming a long struggle with addiction, Joseph began experimenting with Ashtanga Yoga. He understood quickly that the lineage was calling to him to deepen his practice. He underwent a 2 year apprenticeship program at the world renowned Miami Life Center, continuing his education under his teachers Tim Feldmann and Kino MacGregor. More recently he has completed 2 months of study in Mysore under Sharath Jois.

Joseph teaches yoga because attempts to do any and everything else ended disastrously. But when he finally devoted himself to his passion, he became an asset to himself and others. He hopes his practice allows him to be ever more loving and to exist gently.
