NERVOUS SYSTEM RESET: Somatic Practices for Self and Community-Care


Join us for Nervous System Reset: Somatic Practices for Self and Community-Care with RW Alves & Kyra Haglund. In this course you will explore various somatic practices from a trauma-informed, individual and collective-healing lens. Participants will learn foundational principles of trauma-informed movement and somatics, basic brain science and nervous system information, and specific movement practices and somatic explorations to use in their own practice, as well as how to apply and modify those practices to use with clients and students.

This course is for you, if you:

  • Want to feel more present, more in your body, more resilient, and more able to respond to life as it unfolds

  • Want to learn somatic, body-based tools to support yourself and others

  • Are curious about ways of engaging in trauma-healing work that are integrated, experiential, playful, and exploratory rather than prescriptive

  • Want to explore how our own individual somatic self-care practices relate to, support, and weave in with collective care and social justice

This course is also for anyone who wants to explore and learn more about somatic practices that are not directly from yoga but can complement and support our yoga practices, not only for our individual growth and healing, but also to support clients and students we may be working with, as well as our communities.

You'll walk away from this course with a toolbox of practices for somatic exploration to:

  • Cultivate greater presence and responsiveness

  • Gain more nervous system regulation

  • Explore ideas for variations of practices while working in different settings with clients or students

  • Learn basic principles and frameworks for trauma-informed practice in general

  • Feel into a more embodied, present, and resilient experience of yourself and your bodyThis course will provide space for play, practice, and integration of various somatic practices that support healing, growth, and capacity-building. We will also discuss principles and ideas for using these practices with students and clients.

Join us for a course that will offer a space for play, practice, and integration of various somatic practices that support healing, growth, and capacity-building, while you increase your resilience, presence, and capacity for showing up in the world!
