Somatic Tools for Pain & Nervous System Regulation

Saturday April 25, 2026 1:00pm - 3:00pm MST

Dry Creek Ballroom

This teacher-focused workshop equips instructors to safely support students experiencing pain, tension, and mobility limitations. Emphasizing anatomy-informed strategies (including the core, spine, deep front line, and vagus nerve) participants learn to observe, cue, and guide students with comfort, alignment, and self-awareness.

Common conditions such as lower back pain, limited range of motion, disc herniation, and chronic tension are addressed. Using somatic techniques, movement titration, and subtle breathwork, teachers gain practical tools to help students regulate their nervous system and engage with their bodies as allies, fostering empowerment and accessibility in their practice.
