Polyvagal Theory

Brian Siddhartha Ingle 4-23-2022

This presentation focuses on understanding the nervous system according to Stephen Porges’ polyvagal theory, its application as a Hanna Somatics educator and in our daily life. This theory identifies a part of the nervous system that Porges calls the social engagement system, which helps us navigate relationships. By understanding polyvagal theory we can support our students in becoming more restful, safe and flexible in their somatic learning
