Experience your vagus nerve through movement, touch, and imagery!
Develop an understanding of the vagus nerve and why it plays such an important role in your health. Most importantly, learn how to consciously activate your vagus nerve, as well as understand what you already do that influences it.
We will have breakout rooms for short practice teaching sessions of the embodiments you learn. In addition to practice teaching, you’ll leave the workshop with a keynote presentation of Christa’s slides and videos of three vagus nerve embodiments.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and after today, that’s what you will have - a picture of your vagus nerve.

A recording will be made available to all registrants for two weeks following the workshop.

Christa Rypins has had two drives in her life—figure skating and how to make sense of life. She discovered yoga 33 years ago. While on tour with the Ice Capades, she heard about a place where they practiced “meditation in motion.” She didn’t know what that was, but knew she wanted to try it.
When her tour was done she went to Massachusetts to check it out, and soon after changed her life and went to live in the ashram. A couple years later she became a yoga teacher.
Yoga opened the door to as many questions as it answered and she became a student of the body. In addition to athletics and yoga, Christa has studied, practiced, and taught somatics, Pilates, and The Franklin Method of Imagery.
The Franklin Method, a system of anatomical embodiment using movement, touch, and imagery, is the transformational tool that underlies all of Christa’s work.
She uses embodiment to help athletes feel more connected to their bodies so they can achieve their goals, and the rest of us to feel more connected to our bodies so we can heal pain and enjoy our lives
In addition to yoga and meditation, embodiment has had the most profound effect on Christa’s health and well-being.
