This workshop is based on the polyvagal theory developed by Prof Stephen Porges. It supports practitioners in better understanding the nature of stress, trauma and PTSD and how extreme stress can lead to complex and long-lasting consequences to emotional and physical health. Also, HRV can provide personal feedback about your lifestyle and help motivate those who are considering taking steps toward a healthier life. Numerous independent, peer-reviewed studies have shown statistically significant and sustained improvements such as reduced stress, improved employee health, lowered health-care cost, increased productivity and resilience for those who have incorporated the HRV techniques in their everyday life.
