Aloha Infinite Beings of Flow!
𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆... Introducing… The Medicine of NeuroSomatic Flow™ Seminar Series! Don’t miss this very special opportunity to immerse in the Science, Soul, and Soma of Rewiring Your Brain, Releasing Trauma, and Re-Igniting Your Inner Fire.
We are so excited and honored to feature three of our trainees who will be presenting the results of their sacred scholarship research, coupled with a guided NSF practice, to fulfill their final requirement for their Level 2 NSF Teacher & Coach certification, which is equivalent to receiving a masters degree like no other offered in world at the current time.
WHAT IS NEUROSOMATIC FLOW™ (NSF)?
Crafted by a neuroscientist from Penn State's College of Medicine, NSF is a unique, somatic healing modality based not only on reclaiming the wisdom of the body, but also on creating new ways of being through new patterns of moving. Through this simple yet powerful practice, with as little as five minutes a day, the Central Nervous System can be re-wired, while simultaneously releasing limiting beliefs and trauma in a safe and joyful way.
THINK BRAIN TRAINING, FLOW STATE, REWIRING, MEDITATION, SOMATIC HEALING, SENSORY AWAKENING, PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION, AND EMBODIED PLAY . . . . ALL-IN-ONE!
NSF utilizes flow arts props such as poi and the hula hoop (and beyond) to bring the individual into a whole brain functioning state of flow, accelerating the rewiring process - which is, as you might imagine, profound for those reinventing themselves.
Other benefits of this practice include long-lasting, protective effects on the brain, improved concentration, coordination, grace, and a way to easily access creativity and inspiration, also crucial to navigating new realms.
_____________
As one participant said, "Just like yoga and meditation have been scientifically proven to have positive physiological effects and are widely recommended by professionals, FLOW is soon to be included with these as another way to treat the whole person."
__________
So, please mark your calendars and don't miss out on this very special opportunity to experience the "Medicine of Flow" with these extraordinary NaiAsa Flow teacher trainees.
While all classes will utilize some poi and hula hoop, they are not needed to participate.
