Understand your Brain and Nervous System

Have you ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?

Maybe you've tried all sorts of self-care routines and it doesn't seem to help long term?

Perhaps you live with chronic stress, anxiety, grief, or depression and seeking relief?

Yoga has been shown to be an effective and therapeutic practice for the body and mind.

I'm here to share with you transformational tools that are proven to repair and heal the nervous system via the vagus nerve for inner resilience, empowerment, and self-regulation.

This workshop is for you if you are brand new to yoga, a long time student, or a teacher/therapist seeking yogic tools for nervous system regulation.

This 2-hour workshop is live streamed via Zoom:

Sunday, December 18th 4pm - 6pm AKDT

We will dive into the science of the nervous system and evidence based practices for the mind-body connection.

We will finish with a soothing relaxation practice to activate the parasympathetic (rest & digest) system. 

After taking this workshop, you'll be able to recognize when you feel activated and ways to help yourself feel more calm, peaceful, and grounded.

This is a safe, inclusive, accessible, and trauma-informed space for all bodies.

You do not need any previous experience.

Hi, I'm Kara.

I'm an experienced trauma-informed yoga and meditation teacher. I am also currently training as an Ayurvedic yoga therapist with a focus in trauma recovery.

I live in the beautiful seaside town of Seward, Alaska where I host yoga wellness retreats.

My teachings are trauma informed, evidence based, and mental health aware with a fusion of psychology and neuroscience. 

My aim is to create a wellness experience carefully crafted to nourish not only the physical body, but the mental and emotional body as well.

I teach with inclusive, welcoming and invitational language to students of all bodies.

Yoga isn't just about poses or shapes. It is the mindful, somatic movement of daily life, the experience of breath, and coming home to yourself.
