Patting for Self-Regulation
Life can get overwhelming at times.
When we become dysregulated, either hyper-aroused or hypo-aroused, there are many simple practices that we can do to self-regulate and bring ourselves back within our Window of Tolerance.
In today’s episode, Dr Lauren Tober is sharing a practice of patting for self-regulation.
Join Lauren to try this simple practice out yourself, and learn how to share it with students in your yoga classes, if they need support to regulate.

MEET OUR FOUNDER
Hi, I'm Dr Lauren Tober!
As a Clinical Psychologist and Yoga Teacher of nearly two decades and the author of Mental Health Aware Yoga: A Guide for Yoga Teachers, I'm passionate about integrating yoga and psychology on the mat, in the counselling room and in the world.
With the growing interest in mental health and yoga, yoga students are attending yoga classes for the mental health benefits in unprecedented numbers.
In fact, 79.4% of yoga students report practicing yoga for the mental health benefits.
It's important that Yoga Teachers know how to support them.
I'm glad you're here.
