Welcome to 'Nervous System Reset' — an 8-week online learning experience that encourages your mind-body-connection.

Join us as we explore relaxation processes and share with you tools to regulate your own nervous system, all while building emotional and mental resilience. In this course we focus strongly on Yoga Nidra as it promotes better sleep, reduces feelings of stress and concentrates the  release of trauma. 

This online classroom will delve into the structure, science and philosophy behind Yoga Nidra as well as exploration and practice of  conscious breathing techniques,  Restorative Yoga, sleep hygiene and more, in a way that is accessible to everyone. 

Every week from 19th May until July 14st, 2024, students have exclusive access to educational content in a range of engaging formats including:

8x 1.5hr LIVE ZOOM lectures and discussions, written, audio, video and guided home study. 

Come away with 40hrs Continuing Education with Yoga Alliance & Yoga NZ!

She is a dedicated, accessible and intuitive yoga teacher, certified Yoga Therapist and an Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapist with more than 30 years of experience working with a wide range of people.
