On Demand Course: Rewiring the Anxious Brain

Description

Anxiety is associated with identifiable patterns of brain activity and neural network organisation. Both classical yoga texts and contemporary neuroscience point to yoga’s capacity to support regulation, resilience, and change within the nervous system.

Given the prevalence of anxiety and anxiety-related disorders, it is essential that yoga and health professionals understand how yoga-based practices can support both short-term regulation and longer-term neuroplastic adaptation.

This on demand course explores the neurobiological foundations of anxiety and examines how yoga may influence brain function through specific mechanisms of neuroplasticity. Heather Mason reviews current research and theory to clarify how targeted practices can support the rewiring of the anxious brain.

Key areas explored include:

• How the brain changes through experience and learning

• Core neurobiological features of the anxious brain

• Mechanisms through which yoga may support neuroplastic change

• Specific yoga-based practices that support nervous system regulation and psychological resilience

Who This Course Is For

This course is designed for anyone interested in understanding how yoga can support the development of new neural pathways associated with reduced anxiety and increased resilience, including:

• Yoga professionals

• Health and mental health practitioners

• Trainees in therapeutic disciplines

• Individuals seeking evidence-informed tools to better understand and manage anxiety

The seminar provides a clear, accessible exploration of how and why yoga can influence the anxious brain, grounded in neuroscience and professional scope of practice.
