The Heart of Self-Regulation: An Interview with Jyoti Manuel

Love is regulation — and safety begins in the heart.In this deeply moving conversation, Joanne Avison sits down with Jyoti Manuel, founder of Special Yoga, to explore how love, presence, and compassion support self-regulation and healing. Together they reflect on what it really means to feel safe — for children, parents, and teachers alike — and how simple, embodied practices can help us reconnect to calm, awareness, and inner harmony.Through stories, practical tools, and spiritual insight, Joanne and Jyoti offer guidance for anyone supporting others through stress, overwhelm, or emotional dysregulation.
