Welcome back to the Navigate Your Nervous System Series! This will run through September & October here on YouTube and in our membership community. This week, we will continue exploring your Flight Response of your nervous system, with anger, frustration and irritation.
Physiological responses of your nervous system under threat “fit in, fawn, fight, flight and freeze” have corresponding emotions and behaviors
Your Sympathetic Nervous system fight response begins with irritation, moves to frustration, then anger, then rage as the threat or perceived threat escalates
Anger, frustration, irritation and resentment are the emotions associated with the liver organ system and wood element season. Throughout this class I will guide you into yin yoga postures and teachings about anger and the nervous system from my book, Five Element Yin Yoga.
Our members will get and an elevated, deep dive into a PREMIUM ELITE TIER where they navigate fitting in responses of the vagus nerve in September. This week they will receive teachings on boundaries and a yoga class on having Strong and Flexible Boundaries.
