How To Apply Polyvagal Theory In Yoga With Dr. Arielle Schwartz
Have you ever wondered how Yoga can be used with Polyvagal Theory to enhance Emotional Health?
Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week’s guest is someone I really respect and admire, Dr. Arielle Schwartz. We discussed her newest book, Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga: Therapeutic Practices for Emotional Health. Recently, I attended a two-day workshop with Dr. Schwartz in the UK where she taught some of the material from the book—it was wonderful! I highly recommend any of her offerings!
