Fight, Flight or Insight

A 4-Week Yoga for Parasympathetic Reset Series with Joni Cooke

If yoga is the “yoking” of body and mind, what is the link?
The nervous system.

But how do we know and feel our nervous system? How can we recognize when we’re locked in “fight or flight”? And when we do, how can we create space for “insight” instead?

If you’re neurodivergent, navigating overwhelm, pain, inflammation, perimenopause, or burnout, there are supportive practices that can help. With over thirty-five years as a dancer, shiatsu therapist, and yogi 🧘‍♀️—and as someone living with ADHD—I’ve gathered a unique toolkit of healing techniques and hard-earned body wisdom. This series blends practicality with uplift, helping your nervous system reorganize itself naturally—body and mind, warts 😉 and all.

Thursdays, Nov 13 – Dec 4 | 7:30–8:45 PM
East Van Wisdom School @ Green Room Yoga

What to expect each week:
❖ Shaking practices
❖ Do-Yin (gentle self-tapping/pounding along energy lines)
❖ Yoga asana sequences tailored for specific meridians and energy centres
❖ Optional 10-minute community circle ⭕️ for custom inquiries

We’ll draw from ancient Vedic yoga traditions, weave in practices from Chinese Medicine, and explore ways to awaken the body’s innate healing capacity—shifting patterns at the root of the nervous system.

This is somatic education you can feel. Come as you are. Do what you do. No pressure—except the gentle invitation to listen compassionately to the “issues in your tissues.”

Nine big bows,
Joni
