Cat McCarthy, ERYT-500, YACEP, RYS, NYCNVC Facilitator

“Compassion in Action” is an innovative program that offers skills of adaptability through yoga and Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Inspired by the teachings of Marshall Rosenberg, Cat McCarthy facilitates an integrative approach to identify and reorganize habitual patterns of heart, mind, and body.
Yoga and NVC both offer maps to help regulate the nervous system. The physical practice of asana shifts proprioception, while an empathy practice rewires perception via playful exercises. It’s a physical, mental, and emotional training that leads to more understanding, ease, and connection.
The methodology of NVC is simple although not easy. It takes time to tone one’s empathy muscles, especially while maintaining compassion within our conditioned world of blame and shame. An inside job surrounded by a supportive community, this 50-hour curriculum consists of the following progressive parts:

Part 1: Build the Field: Identify Needs Through Feelings and Judgments
Part 2: Empathy Workout: Tone Your Empathy Muscle
Part 3: Difficult Dialogue: Transform Conflict into Connection
