In this vagus nerve yoga class for morning we will become familiar with our vagus nerve and the vagal brake through breathing. This will allow our nervous systems to move flexibly through our day, to meet the demands of our day. When our nervous systems are flexible, the vagal brake can release to allow us to move into action and then have the resilience to return to ease and calm so that the challenges of life feel more doable. This yoga class focuses on stretching the adductors/inner thighs and hip flexors. We will practice several variations of warrior one pose and goddess victory squat throughout this vagus nerve yoga class for the morning.

With each breath out I find my ventral break.
Can see you have incorporated gym moves with this
Can you encourage weight lifters to use this to increase ventral breaks in gyms for the guys that never tune into para sympathetic without using chemicals ?
Hi Tina 🙂
This would be a great concept to incorporate in the gym. In fact, I have brought a lot of polyvagal theory and my knowledge of the vagus nerve into my own gym workouts 🙂
Thanks for joining me for this practice 🙂
