Our Presentation
This workshop will start with an educational component focused on the intersection of neuroplasticity, mindfulness, and movement. Next, participants will be guided in gentle breathwork and a yoga flow integrating the instructor’s teachings. Participants can participate in the latter part of the presentation on a yoga mat or chair.
Educational Goals
Participants will learn tangible tools that can be useful in their daily personal and professional development. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of how reintegrating our mind, body, and soul through the practice of yoga can alter our neural pathways and can help us live a healthier, happier, and more present life.
Objectives
- Participants will be able to explain the terms neurons, neuropathways, and neuroplasticity.
- Participants will be able to identify and explain basic yoga terms, including drishtigaze, pranayama, mindfulness, and movement.
- Participants will be able to explain how mindfulness, movement, and breath work can be used as tools to communicate with our nervous system helping move us from Sympathetic to Parasympathetic.

Grievance
While the Central Coast Chapter of CAMFT makes every effort to assure fair treatment for all participants and attempts to anticipate problems, there may be occasional issues with regard to presentations/workshops which will require intervention and/or action on the part of the board. This procedural description serves as a guideline for handling such grievances.
When a participant files a grievance and expects action on the complaint, the following actions will be taken:
- The participant(s) will be asked to put concerns in writing (this can be in electronic form, such as an email).
- If the grievance concerns a presenter, the content presented by the speaker, or the style of presentation, the individual filing the grievance will be asked to put their comments in written format. The Board will then pass on the comments to the speaker, assuring the confidentiality of the grieved individual.
- If the grievance concerns a presentation/workshop offering, its content, level of presentation, or the facilities in which the workshop was offered, the Board will mediate and will be the final arbitrator. If the participant requests action, the Board will:
- provide a credit for a subsequent presentation/workshop or
- provide a partial or full refund of the presentation/workshop fee
