Exercise and Sport Studies 975nn - Topics in Yoga: Gentle Yoga/Neuro Narrative Yoga

Stories reside within the body, influencing bodily posture, emotions, autonomic nervous system (ANS) and outlook on life. Students learn how to strengthen their best self, mental immunity and transform uncertainty, fear and feeling of being stuck. This course helps to re-pattern internal narratives through practices tapping into the subconscious and ANS (where negative habits and beliefs reside) with playful yoga embodiment, free writing and more. The free writing is kept confidential. Yogic wisdom and neuroscience behind the practices are explained. Towards the end of each class, working individually, students create an embodied affirmation or short writing to empower mind/body possibilities, personal truths, love and resiliency. Enrollment limited to 23.
