Yoga and the Relaxation Response with Joseph Armstrong

Learn to hack your nervous system using a synthesis of ancient yogic techniques paired with modern scientific know how. The Vagus Nerve down regulates and relaxes the major systems of the body. It is possible to tap into this power and increase our connection to flow states and the relaxation response. This can result in increased presence, psychological and physical well being.  Guided imagery, meditation, vocal techniques, breath work and discussion will all be a part of this session. Practitioners 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.
