• Gain a basic understanding of Raja Yoga Philosophy, Subtle Body Physiology, and Nervous-System Regulation.

• Use those fundamental elements as a foundation for learning specific approaches to teaching asana, breathing practices, and relaxation (yoga nidra), to maximize the potential for nervous-system regulation for special populations, such as individuals recovering from trauma.
