Focus: Mind–body awareness, ethics, reflection, and the psychology of self-regulation.
Understand yoga as a science of the mind and a way of living. Learn how awareness, breath, and attention transform thought patterns and stress responses.

Focus: Embodiment, regulation, and how different styles influence energy, attention, and mood.
Explore the vagus nerve, the autonomic nervous system, and pranayama as tools for calm and balance. Experience and compare foundational yoga traditions: Hatha, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa, understanding their philosophy, structure, and physiological effects.
Week 3: Positive Emotion & Neuroplasticity + Yoga Styles
Focus: Positive psychology, compassion, and balance between effort and ease.
Discover the “calm toolbox”: how movement, gratitude, and mindful attention build emotional resilience and rewire the brain. Continue exploring styles such as Yin and Restorative Yoga, learning how they nurture rest, reflection, and nervous-system recovery.

Bring it all together! Design your personal practice plan and reflect on how yoga supports your life beyond the mat.
