6. What Happens in Vagus…

In this session, we will talk all about the autonomic nervous system and in particular, the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is the longest nerve in the body, innervating the heart, lungs, and digestive tract, along with parts of the throat, vocal cords and ears. It plays a big role in the parasympathetic nervous system, putting the brakes on our "fight or flight" response. We'll explore simple ways to use movement, breath, and sound to stimulate and nourish the vagus nerve in our yoga practice so that we leave with skills to help us better regulate our nervous systems in life.
