In these in-person workshops, Eric will provide instruction on:

• Yoga exercises that help calm your nervous system
• Exercises for promoting neutral observation
• TRE - Tension, stress or trauma exercises
• Centering Prayer

TRE is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.  The Tension Release Exercises are intended to be used as a self-help method that are easily learned, have immediate effects and can be integrated into a simple daily routine to help restore a sense of inner peace and relaxation.

The workshops are being held at the Center for Contemplative Living in Denver, Colorado.  You may sign up for as many sessions as you like.  Each workshop will have a different emphasis.  You will need to bring the following with you to each session:  

• Yoga mat  *
• Water bottle

* Note that the exercises taught in this class can be done sitting in a chair if you prefer not to use a yoga mat.
