BREATHE: Yogic Tools for Happy, Healthy and Fulfilling Relationships EB

WELLNESS YOGA
Dec 09 & 14

Imagine a time in the last week when you felt really stressed. Maybe it was during a misunderstanding with a family member, friend or a co-worker, while standing in line, sitting in traffic, checking email or watching the news. How did you feel? Chances are your heart rate was elevated, your breath was short or rapid and you were restless or ill at ease. Compound this situation over and over and you have the typical life of most adults.

Chronic stress and fear wreak havoc on your nervous system. Whether real or imagined, your body responds to threat by releasing a cascade of stress hormones that increase your blood pressure, elevate your heart rate, suppress non-essential functions like digestion and sex drive, and prepare you for battle. When this scenario is persistent your nervous system gets stuck in fight or flight mode, leaving you anxious, irritable or angry, depressed and exhausted. This takes its toll on your life, work and relationships.

Yogic tools, particularly those that emphasize the breath, are the gateway to relaxation. By learning strategies for breathing that promote clarity and calm you can diffuse the stress response – almost instantaneously. What’s more, these tools can be used anywhere and at almost any time – even when you’re interacting with others.

Join Dr. B Grace Bullock, psychologist, research scientist and certified Viniyoga Therapist in learning how tools from yoga and neuroscience can enable you to diffuse the stress response, rewire your brain and nervous systems, and become more interpersonally mindful and effective in your relationships. Dr. Bullock’s BREATHE program provides essential skills that will enable you reduce your stress and reactivity, improve your communication skills and be more effective in your personal and professional relationships.

You will learn:

  1. How chronic stress triggers your brain and body to be primed for conflict.
  2. How to calm your brain and body with simple, effective yogic breath modification techniques.
  3. How to identify when you are feeling stressed by listening to and noting the messages that your body and emotions are sending.
  4. How to identify when you’re getting lost in your personal story rather than being present.
  5. How to discern your personal story from what is in front of you.
  6. How these tools can lead to better communication and more satisfying relationships.

The mindfulness skills that we learn in our yoga practice are as important to our personal growth as they are to our relationships. They provide not only insights into our behavior but important information that help us to be more patient, kind and skillful with others.

ThisCourse Also Includes:

  • Yoga Practices for Rewiring Your Nervous System: The course includes several prerecorded yoga and breathing practices with Grace from the BREATHE system she has developed. The practices provide practical tools to reduce stress-induced reactivity, rewire the brain, and develop greater nervous system resilience.
  • Recordings of Both Sessions: Yours to keep. It’s generally acknowledged that many people only retain 10-20 percent of what they learn in a workshop. You will get the recordings of both sessions, enabling you to go back and listen to the workshop as many times as you like.
  • Transcripts of Both Sessions: Ever wanted to refer to a certain part of a course? Even the best note takers miss a point every so often. With the transcripts of the sessions, you can go back and refer to particularly important passages or clarify sections you were in doubt about.
B Grace Bullock, PhD, E-RYT 500 is a psychologist, research scientist, educator, author, yoga and mindfulness expert and creator of BREATHE: 7 Skills for Mindful Relationships. Her mission is to improve relationships.

I wanted to expand on my thank you. Yoga U Online has been an absolute lifesaver for me. I moved from a yoga mecca to a yoga desert. Instead of having my choice of teachers and styles and special workshops, I now have to travel an hour to take a class. The excellent teachers and interesting topics at Yoga U Online have kept me moving ahead in my practice. I am grateful for all the wonderful yoga you bring to me. Thank you.
