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.

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."
