Our vagus nerve system, along with many other things, helps regulate our ability to downshift from flight, fight or freeze to rest, digest and heal. Keeping our vagus nerve system healthy, responsive, active, and resilient helps us recover faster and keeps us healthier. Restorative Yoga is the perfect practice to help support our vagus nerve health and resilience - as we allow ourselves to soften, release, and fully surrender to the props and the pose.
This practice melds supportive yoga poses, breath work, and some vagus nerve practices to help build a stronger and more responsive healthy vagus nerve system.
Props: 1 bolster or bed pillow, 2-3 blankets or towels, 1-2 blocks or throw pillows
