NEW ONLINE COURSE on YOGA & NEUROSCIENCE The revolutionary concept of a mind-body connection has long been known to Yogis and is now gaining accelerated scienti...fic and medical interest in Western cultures. In this practical course, participants will learn the fundamental laws of health and disease according to Yoga, experience select yoga practices to move gracefully through complex times, and review some of the most important advances in the new field of meditation sciences that are impacting individual and collective health. MODULES INCLUDE: MODULE #1: The Neuroscience of Love We are born to love and be loved. In this module, participants will have the opportunity to deeply connect with the meaning and practice of Universal Love and its power to heal individually and collectively. The current neuroscientific framework for the experience of love and the effects on health and wellbeing will be discussed. MODULE #2: The Breath of Life Our focus in this module is Pranayama, which is the training of the breath, so as to make it slow and subtle. Pranayama leads to the experience of the steady flow of energy (prana), which is beyond or underneath exhalation, inhalation, and the transitions between them. According to most spiritual teachings, the breath is the first step towards replacing negative patterns with positive ones and developing a state of consciousness that makes the implications of our actions apparent, preventing further trauma. Participants will practice Pranayama and learn about the connection between breath and the nervous system from the lens of Yoga and Modern Neuroscience. MODULE #3: Healing Consciousness Health is born within a positive consciousness. This session will provide participants with more advanced tools to practice living from our highest consciousness rather than from intellect. The human Brain and Heart polarities and their relationship with mind, breath, mantra and visualization described in yogic scriptures will be studied. MODULE #4: Spiritual Epigenetics In this final session, participants will integrate the teachings from prior modules and reflect on healing present and future generations. We will learn that the human genome evolves through our thoughts, feelings and actions and review groundbreaking science that indicates that we can re-write our destiny.
