Lori Haas is a 500 hour Certified Healing Emphasis Yoga Therapist who helps people create nurturing, kind and loving relationships with their body as well as calming their nervous system.
In this episode she takes us through how we can tap into the body as a resource for cultivating calm and guides us through a practical grounding exercise.
We touch on Dr. Stephen Porges "Polyvagal Theory" which relates to the autonomic nervous system, finding your "Anchor Pose" for nourishment and empowerment, and chat about her chapter in Carolyn Costin and Joe Kelly's book "Yoga and Eating Disorders: Ancient Healing for Modern Illness.
Lori describes her first experience with yoga as if she felt a "coming home". She realised that whatever is going on in your external world reveals itself on a deeper level when showing up on the yoga mat, and this place is ideal for noticing and nurturing the emotions that arise when practising stillness and connecting with the body.
