Understand the Roots of Chronic Pain and Learn a Practice to Support Healing

Chronic pain affects not only the body—but also the brain and nervous system. In this free mini-course, you’ll explore how early-life stress, trauma, and adversity may play a role in the development of chronic pain later in life. We’ll break down the neuroscience in accessible language and introduce you to the healing power of Yoga Nidra, a guided meditative practice that supports deep rest and nervous system regulation.

Whether you’re living with chronic pain yourself or want to better support your students and clients, this course is for you.

What You’ll Learn

How chronic pain can stem from early experiences of stress and trauma
The way pain reshapes brain activity and increases sensitivity to pain signals
How the nervous system becomes overprotective, leading to a self-reinforcing cycle of pain
The powerful role of neuroplasticity in reversing these patterns
Why Yoga Nidra, visualization, meditation, and pain science education are key tools in interrupting the cycle

Grounded in Research

Emerging studies in neuroscience and mind-body medicine show that chronic pain is not just a physical issue—it’s also a pattern in the nervous system. Fortunately, that pattern can change. By combining the deep rest of Yoga Nidra with a deeper understanding of pain science, you can begin to build a more resilient relationship with your body and your mind.
