November 1st, 2024 | 1:00-6:00pm

ONLINE TRAINING | 5 CE’s for

In this workshop, participants will delve into the interconnected realms of fascia and the polyvagal theory, exploring their profound influence on physical and emotional well-being. Through a blend of experiential practices, interactive discussions, and practical applications, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these systems shape our responses to stress, trauma, and healing. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to integrate scientific knowledge with practical techniques to enhance resilience, self-awareness, and promote holistic health.

"Our program offers a distinctive approach to understanding fascia, focusing on awakening communication within the body's regulatory pathways. We delve into the profound mind-body connection via fascia, emphasizing techniques that actively stimulate and engage these regulatory pathways.

By fostering this communication, our approach not only enhances nervous system regulation and vagal tone but also empowers instructors to guide students toward a deeper understanding of their own bodies, unlocking higher potentials and facilitating transformative experiences."

  • “Jessica Lichaa clearly came here to share the wisdom of her unique Fascia Awakening technique with humanity!

    I am beyond grateful for Jessica’s healing energy, embodied wisdom, grounded knowledge, and heartfelt intention to grow each of us into the yoga practitioners she believes we can be!

    She made us feel so seen and heard on our journeys while empowering us to open to our soul power and step into a higher plane and more elevated way of seeing ourselves and our work in the world.

    I look forward to incorporating the fascia fundamentals and so much of the dharmic wisdom I’ve saturated myself in for the past 3 months into my coaching business!

    My clients are already benefiting from the magic of this framework.

    Thank you, Jessica, for weaving this beautiful community of yogis I am grateful to be a part of and for giving me the tools to care for my body for the rest of my life! I am beyond thrilled to continue sharing this knowledge with everyone I meet!”

  • “This program was an amazing and unique experience that informed my perspective as a yoga student and teacher, but also as someone who works in the mental health field.

    Throughout this program, I was able to explore the root of suffering and impacts of systemic dysregulation in the human experience.

    However, what I found wasn't a death sentence. Instead, it was an understanding that everything is malleable and the potential for regulation exists everywhere.”
