Polyvagal Theory
4-MODULE ONLINE COURSE
Embody a Sense of Safety and Connection
Have you ever felt unsafe and disconnected even when no sources of danger were present? How do contemplative practices affect the 'vagus nerve' such that the "fight or flight" response gives way to a feeling of safety and connection?
Explore the groundbreaking theory of the nervous system that has started a revolution in contemplative research with the man who created it.
In this 4-Module Course, discover and apply the wisdom of the Vagus nerve.
Learn home-grown methods for feeling safe in the body.
Build Knowledge
Apply a transformative theory changing the way we look at the nervous system.
Apply Practically
Study new perspectives on what's possible through contemplative practices.
Study Deeply
Feeling detached or defensive can be changed by adopting contemplative practices. Polyvagal Theory explains how they function to change the dynamics of the nervous system.
By studying Polyvagal Theory, we are led to a better understanding of the relationship between mental and physical illnesses and the varying states of our autonomic nervous system. It shows us that we have the power to change, adapt, and shift our feeling-states and resultant behaviours through practices that directly transform the body-mind.
Why study about the Vagus Nerve?

The course will explore how Polyvagal Theory provides a neural foundation for brain-body medicine that offers solutions for treating trauma and chronic stress-related mental and physical health challenges.
What our Students
are Saying...
"I have studied through many established and well renowned yoga platforms, both academic and traditional based ones! This was one of the best workshops I ever attended not least because it was a praxis based one! Rameshji got the balance between scholarly analysis and traditionally based transmission just right and therefore was very engaging! This is the way forward for yoga platforms! We don’t necessarily just want to absorb knowledge but to know how to implement it in our everyday lives through practice! Rameshji was able to deliver this splendidly and I hope he is invited back to do more!" – Vishal Nehra
A recent yoga workshop student says:
"This program has provided more than any of us could have imagined. We have learned from one another, shown our vulnerability, and provided a brave space for our evolution."
A student reflecting on our faculty says:
"Every faculty member was incredibly knowledgable on their subject matter but even more so, passionate about sharing that knowledge and overwhelmingly dedicated to ensuring comprehension on the behalf of the students."
"I really appreciated being exposed to so many of the different perspectives of Yoga Philosophy – Samkhya, Vedanta, Tantra, Tibetan Buddhism, Goddess traditions. It’s wonderful to learn from teachers who so clearly love their subject. I really appreciated the support from the helpdesk team."
