Yoga & Working-in
Our integrative approach combines traditional yoga practice with the concept of "working-in" - a method that builds energy reserves rather than depleting them. This unique combination helps develop body awareness, promotes relaxation, and enhances the mind-body connection while ensuring your nervous system stays in a state of balance and recovery.
How does it work?
Traditional yoga postures and breathing techniques are practiced with a focus on maintaining a relaxed, meditative state.
In our "working-in" approach, movements are synchronized with your natural breathing rhythm, maintaining consistent heart rate and body temperature throughout the practice.
This method allows you to build energy rather than expend it, creating a sustainable practice that enhances rather than depletes your resources.
The practice emphasizes the parasympathetic nervous system response, promoting deep relaxation and healing.
Backed by science
Research published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine demonstrates that regular yoga practice significantly reduces inflammation markers and stress hormones.
Studies in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience show enhanced vagal tone and improved heart rate variability through consistent practice. Additional research has documented improved GABA levels (a calming neurotransmitter) following yoga sessions, with lasting effects on anxiety and stress reduction when practiced regularly.
Benefits of Yoga
This practice has shown promise in:
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Improved flexibility and strength
- Enhanced nervous system regulation
- Better sleep quality
- Increased energy reserves
- Improved breath awareness
- Enhanced emotional balance
- Reduced muscle tension
- Better body awareness
- Deepened mind-body connection
Integration with other modalities
YOGA & Working-in is most effective when combined with other approaches to nervous system regulation. We integrate neurofeedback with various other modalities to create a comprehensive approach to mental and physical wellbeing.
Sympathetic Dominance Protocol
A psychosomatic stress reduction method that combines various modalities to identify and remove emotional blocks that express as physical symptoms.
PEMF & Infrared
Muscle relaxation, improved circulation and ion transportation to stimulate the body's natural recovery process.
Photobiomodulation
Red light and Near Infrared Light of specific wavelengths interact with the mitochondria to boost ATP production (more energy).
Cold Thermogenesis
Nervous system regulation training and helps to reduce inflammation, boost metabolism and improve immune function.
Gut Healing Protocol
Reduce harmful bacteria and parasites, heal the gut lining and encourage growth of beneficial bacteria to boost the immune system and gut-brain connection.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet
A diet and supplement protocol designed to reduce inflammation, reverse deficiencies and boost neurotransmitter production.
Heart Rate Variability Training
Up-train the parasympathetic state to lower the baseline of stress, reduce overwhelm and enhance recovery and emotional regulation.
Bodywork
Boost parasympathetic response, reduce tension, improve circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Art & Cooking Classes
Encouraging creativity, authenticity and play. Classes include painting, macrame, chocolate-making and a Mexican cooking class.
Breathwork
Breathwork can elicit the parasympathetic nervous system response and, in some cases, euphoric or insightful experiences.
Drop-in therapy
Bite-sized sessions with a certified mental health professional to practice emotional processing as the opportunities arise.
Functional Movement
With resistance to improve muscle tone and coordination, mitochondrial function and neurotransmitter production.
Nature therapy
The healing effects of nature; grounding and negative ions from waterfalls, beaches, jungle with low-impact, endurance exercise.
QEEG & Neurofeedback
Brain mapping to measure and assess electrical activity, followed by directed Neurofeedback to improve brain function.
Trauma Release Exercises (TRE)
Restore the body's natural mechanism for releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma.
YOGA & Working-in
Integrate mind, body and energy, improve mood, reduce stress and build strength, flexibility and balance.
Compression Suit
To improve circulation and lymphatic drainage to get rid of cellular waste and enhance regeneration.
Temazcal
An ancient Mesoamerican ritual using heat, steam, herbs and chanting for purification of the mind and body.
