Therapeutic, Level 1-2, 1 hr, 5 mins

Balance and harmonize your nervous system through the physical vagus nerve and the five energetic prana vayus (energetic directions of life force). Often called the nerve of harmony, balance, equanimity, and compassion, the vagus nerve helps to regulate all of our bodily functions including our stress response.

This comprehensive practice includes gentle movements, pranayama (breath) exercises such as nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breath), and bandhas (energetic locks) to calibrate the nervous system and release habitual patterns stored in the body and mind.
