Yoga Mini-Retreat for Parents:
Learn to create nervous system regulation & resilience for you & your kids!
One of the most life-giving things we can commit to creating for
ourselves and our families is a healthy, happy, nourished
NERVOUS SYSTEM! :D
This one thing can reduce inflammation (brain inflammation can be a hidden cause of SO many emotional/behavioral/trigger issues), improve our ability to authentically engage & connect, unleash creativity & problem-solving, and make harmony & teamwork feel natural & easy.
When our nervous system is healthy, we trigger less & bounce back faster when we do, we feel clear-headed, have an optimal production of feel-good hormones to keep us in the game when its challenging, and our bandwidth/capacity for taking things on and transcending challenges expands naturally!
Yoga can "tone" the nervous system when practiced with knowledge and intention! And I cannot wait to show you how! :D

Connection:
Discover the sociological "dance" we are in with our children that we can use to create a deep, strong connection throughout life.
Healing:
Understand how your own life experiences may be creating results in your nervous system that do not serve your vision for your life or family, and how to clear & re-write that "story."
Confidence:
Lead with a mindset that doesn't respond to fear, but moves from a place of certainty and power. This allows the nervous system to release, as we can feel we trust ourselves, and that all is well.
Resilience:
Fall in love with problem-solving and create a fail-fast approach that produces positive expansion of your bandwidth vs burnout or frustration.
