The Science Behind Your Reactions

What happens in your body when you feel threatened, overwhelmed, or shut down?

Most of us have been taught to manage from the neck up – think positive, push through, calm down. But your nervous system doesn't work that way.

In this 1-hour intro, Anna Roters from The Embodied Practice introduces Polyvagal Theory – a framework that explains why your body responds the way it does under stress, and how to gently shift out of survival mode and back into connection.

What to expect:

• Accessible, grounded education

• Gentle somatic practices

• A felt sense of what regulation actually feels like

You'll leave with a new understanding of your nervous system – and a felt sense of what it means to be regulated, safe, and connected.

Once you understand your nervous system — the next question is why you relate the way you do.
