Transforming Habits Yoga Teacher Training | Online

This live online training offers a profoundly deep dive into the neurobiology of habits and goal- directed learning. You will learn about the reward system and habit formation in the basal ganglia, failure detection and the habenula, the role of dopamine as the currency by which the brain evaluates different options, and the conditions needed for adaptive neuroplasticity in adulthood. The curriculum explores the impact of chronic stress on executive function, how fierce self-criticism kills the motivation needed for change, and why self-compassion is such an effective behavioral regulation tool.
