TLC Method Training Series

Yoga & your nervous system. An introduction to polyvagal theory and how it applies to yoga.
with Sally Priestley
As part of our commitment to supporting the TLC Method Community we are excited to offer ongoing professional development through mini courses, workshops, events and retreats in 2023. This March we are collaborating with Sally Priestly, TLC Method Graduate from 2021.
A personal note from Sally- “I completed The Method in 2021 and mentored in 2022. Prior to that I undertook the Soulful Master training and Beyond the Asana 200hr YTT with TLC in 2019. I've practiced and studied these sacred practices over a number of years, and love weaving them into my daily life and yoga classes across Melbourne. Most of all, I love mentoring students through this work. I can't wait to dive into this work with you, hear your stories and support you through these teachings.”
The Details
