Yoga for Interoceptive Awareness- Awaken your Eighth Sense Teacher Training
Tue, 10 May 2022 6:30 PM- 8:30pm
Whats the BUZZ around "Interoception"? Experience how you can enrich your yoga therapy or classes with ways to build Interoceptive awareness
"Interoception" is often called our "eighth sense" and there is a buzz around ways to develop this sense in the health and wellness field recently, with good reason. If you are interested in yoga and mindfulness, you have likely come across the link Interoception has with a multitude of physical and mental health conditions. In this webinar, we will be exploring recent research, challenges and topics of interest in regards to Interoception and specifically yoga and mindfulness in this space.
Deepen your awareness of Interoception as a powerful system of receptors spread throughout our body pulling in information to keep you in balance (homeostasis), and helping you to know how and what you feel. When we have this sense of how we are feeling on the inside, we can learn how we need to respond ~"Interoceptive awareness", this not only keeps us well by taking the actions we need to be healthy, we also deepen into an awareness of our true Self and needs.
In this way, yoga with its rich tools in which to come to "Know ourselves" more deeply, from the inside out, offers each of us a space to cultivate interoception and interoceptive awareness.
In this training and practical session, Sarita will present:
- current research into why we would want to bring Interoception into our therapy for clients in a variety of fields
- why is there such a BUZZ on Interoception
- what this sensory system is and how it works in the body and brain
- The most powerful neuroscience, evidence-based ways to develop interoception
- an introduction to evidence-based Interoception programs
- AND share an introductory practice of Interoception-enriched yoga, for you to taste how to highlight the development of interoceptive awareness in yoga practices for yourself or with your clients
- Space for sharing your own insights and knowledge and for asking questions about anything Interoception and yoga!
Approximate format:
- Introduction and background:30mins (presentation)
- Yoga practice: 50-60minutes (Practice)
- Journalling or reflection break:10mins
- Reflection on practice and explicit interoception yoga teaching methods and question time: 30mins (live interaction)

Trained as a yoga therapist and teacher since 2000 she has facilitated many groups and individuals to connect with and honour their body and interoceptive awareness. She now brings these tools into her practice as an OT working with kids and adults with ASD, ADHD, anxiety and neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and brain injury.

Medicine Song Circle is a collective of women, who come together to sing and weave medicine songs. All are welcome.
This group is a collective of women, who come together to sing and weave medicine songs.
These songs are for the upliftment of women, community and the earth! We will draw from a mixture of cultures, inviting soulful tunes and mantra into a blend of rhythm and love, as medicine for the planet.
We come together as women on the earth to sing our hearts out, to remember the power of the collective voice, and reclaim our divine song!
As we sing we offer our frequency for healing, heart opening, prayer, earth connection, tribe gathering and communing with the heart beat of our mother earth 🌏 especially during this valuable transition healing time in history.
May our heart lights shine brightly. Our strengths, our rawness, our openness, our vulnerability, our void. All is welcomed in this space.
As a collective we hold each others fierce, gentle hearts - wrapped in the arms of the divine mother.
We welcome each other into circle. In circle we are all equal and we all honour each other’s courageous hearts in this sharing.
There was a time when songs were part of daily life. No person was left out. We sang during our daily activities, we sang at birth, we sang at death, we sang to celebrate and we sang to mourn. I welcome back this day where we remember our song.This circle is a seed. A seed for us to remember. To welcome in a new way and new culture. We welcome you, whether a beginner or experienced in exploring your voice in our collective song.

Winter Solstice is a time of reflection as we dive deep into the mystery of the earth and the darkness of the Mother.
As solstice dawns we prepare ourselves to open to the light: The light of awareness, inspiration & reflection, opening to a new way of being together.
We gather to listen....
To our earth
To our sisters
To our sacred sound
To the medicine of this land
This is a day of nourishing connection, movement, ceremony, sacred sound & deep replenishment.
Come fill your cups sisters, listen deeply, sing your medicine and feel the luminous, ceremonial energy of this land, by the base of the mountain.
