Hatha Yoga - Regulating the Autonomic Nervous System (10 hours)
Hatha Yoga — Regulating the Autonomic Nervous System
Breath, movement, awareness, and recovery practices to support nervous system balance and wellbeing
Modern life places enormous demands on the nervous system. Many people now live with persistent tension, shallow breathing, stress overload, poor recovery, and difficulty slowing down.
In this practical and accessible online course, Anthony Berlingeri explores how Hatha Yoga principles may help support autonomic nervous system regulation through breathing, movement, posture, awareness, pacing, and rest.

It is especially valuable for massage therapists, manual therapists, rehabilitation professionals, fitness instructors, yoga teachers, and wellness practitioners seeking practical ideas that can be integrated into daily work and personal practice.
