​Yoga and the Endocrine System
with Kirsten Wilkinson

Yoga and the Endocrine System will take a deep dive into how the shapes we make with our body effect our mood, sleep, zest for life, immune system, and other vital hormonal fluctuations.

About this Course:​

In this 4 class series you will experience both lecture and experiential movement. This course will focus on understanding the function and using shapes to assist with the balance of our endocrine system and glands. We will systematically be hacking into our own bodies to promote and provide better overall health for our own personal and professional practices.

This 15hr Course is designed for: 

• Anyone interested in shifting their personal health and wellness focus to a more holistic path.
• Experienced, new and novice yoga teachers and yoga business owners hoping to integrate trauma informed and accessible yoga in studio, online and community settings.
• Health, social, service, and community professionals hoping to integrate yoga, embodied, and mindful somatic practices with a trauma informed approach into their existing practice, organizations, and work.
• Activists, humanitarians and social justice advocates hoping to add somatic awareness, embodied practices and community connection to their social justice and systemic change agendas.
