The Vagus Nerve within Yoga
38th - 30th November, 2025, JJ Studios, LondonÂ
Â
Do you want to help your students (and yourself) feel calmer, more balanced and resilient with science-backed techniques?
Are you curious about how the vagus nerve and interoception can profoundly impact stress, recovery and emotional well-being?
Would you love to integrate powerful nervous system regulation toolsaugmenting traditional yoga into your teaching?
Interoception—the body’s ability to sense itself—holds the key to emotional regulation, resilience, and balanced mind-body awareness. When paired with the vagus nerve’s ability to shift the nervous system into a state of rest and repair, you have a powerful toolkit to help your students feel calmer and more connected, enhancing their ability to heal and recover.
In this specialist weekend workshop led by Celest Pereira, Physical Therapist specialising in functional neurology, you’ll learn how to enhance vagal tone, activate the brainstem, and integrate interoceptive techniques into your classes—using both traditional yoga and cutting-edge therapeutic tools beyond the mat. Whether you’re a yoga teacher looking to refine your approach or a movement professional eager to expand your knowledge, this training will transform the way you teach.
