Nervous System Regulation: Yoga Tools for Safety & Resilience | Free Masterclass
Your nervous system is the key to navigating stress, trauma, and overwhelm. In this free 90-minute virtual masterclass, you’ll learn science-backed yoga practices to regulate stress responses, reclaim safety in your body, and build resilience. Guided by over 30 years of clinical experience, trauma-informed yoga therapist Melanie Taylor bridges neuroscience and accessible yoga to help you move from survival mode to agency.
Why Focus on Regulation?
Your body’s stress response system dictates how you react to daily challenges and past trauma (Learn more about stress biology from Harvard Medical School).
Chronic activation can lead to burnout, anxiety, or dissociation – but you can learn to work with your body, not against it.
Trauma-sensitive yoga offers tools to reset your body’s natural balance without spiritual bypassing or quick fixes.
What You’ll Learn:
🧠 How Stress & Trauma Impact the Body
Plain-language explanations of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) (“fight/flight”) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) (“rest/digest”).
Why traditional yoga often fails trauma survivors – and what works instead.
💡 Decoding Your Body’s Signals
Recognize tension, numbness, or hypervigilance as your body’s way of communicating – not flaws to fix.
🌱 3 Embodied Practices for Calm
Grounding, orienting, and resourcing techniques to calm your stress response in real time.
