Introduction to Neuroscience for Yoga

The most extensive Yoga Neuroscience Course.

( This is a Yoga Alliance Registered Course which gives the student CEU points).

The brain and nervous system are the most power tools for integrating mental, emotional and physical experience and health. More and more scientific studies are revealing how we can engage our nervous system in positive ways to reduce stress, prevent insomnia, control emotion as well as improve meditation and movement practices. We can also learn how to pre-adapt to change to enhance our ability to response to the future. This is why learning about the brain and nervous system are becoming so popular right now.

In this course, we will demystify the brain. You will learn the basics of neuroscience and how it relates to yoga and meditation. You will learn science-based techniques for connecting with the brain to strengthen the mind, meditate more deeply, move the body more effectively and you will get a better understanding of the workings of your emotional intelligence.

Courses like these are sold for 200 USD, however, we have seen the positive impact this knowledge has and believe it is important for people to understand how their brains and bodies work, especially as we move into a more digital future. We invite you to pay what you want for the course.

Some of the things we cover:
1. HELLO Effect: How to prevent your brain from creating "Us" vs "Them" categories (essential for teachers to understand)
