I’ve had a lot of questions about vagus nerve because I think our “feeds” are full of information about it. One more thing “we have to do.”
Ironically these are easy exercises. I give to most of my clients (with some expert details on modifications if there is any discomfort at all). 
The vagus nerve needs space to send signals up and down your body so that it can do its job keeping you calm even in moments of chaos: all involuntarily.
Vagus nerve is a large component of your parasympathetic system, which is involuntary and connects our brain, our heart and our digestion. When our body is tight and the nerve doesn’t have the “space” to for vital communication in your nervous system.
Yoga, meditation and bodywork can be very effective in supporting you in this area.

Pm with any further concerns or questions

When your system feels “on” all day, this practice can help you shift from the inside out.⁠ ⁠ This sequence invites you to trace the vagus nerve from the base of your skull, through your throat and jaw, into your belly—using breath, awareness, and longer-held shapes to support a gentle internal shift.⁠ ⁠ Save this as a reset you can return to.⁠ ⁠ To go deeper, practice ‘Yin for the Vagus Nerve’ with Kali Basman on Yoga International. Her guidance is spacious, perceptive, and quietly transformative—helping you step out of mental noise and into a more grounded, embodied awareness.

So worth the read. YOGA is so worth the work. It will change your life, but it is not always about being comfortable and good all the time it is about learning to be comfortable being uncomfortable.

Most people approach yoga as a way to feel better. To relax, to slow down, to escape discomfort. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But at some point, the practice asks for something different. Not less friction. But more capacity. To stay when it gets intense. To breathe when the body resists. To observe when the mind wants to leave. That’s where the shift happens. Not in the moments that feel good, but in the ones that ask you to remain. If this resonates, share it with someone on the path. And if you’re ready to understand yoga beyond the surface, comment YTT and I’ll guide you through the upcoming trainings. . . . . #yogawisdom #realitycheck #yogateachertraining #yogachangedmylife #yogaismorethanasana

The Bhagavad Gita speaks of detachment in a way that is often misunderstood. Detachment does not mean renouncing the world, owning nothing, or emotionally withdrawing from life. It means living fully without becoming enslaved by what you possess, desire, or love. The Gita teaches that when attachment turns into dependence, fear is born: fear of loss, fear of change, fear of not having enough. Detachment dissolves this fear. It allows you to engage deeply with life, give your best, love wholeheartedly, and still remain rooted within yourself. To be detached is to participate without being consumed. To care without clinging. To love without possession. To act with sincerity and surrender the outcome. In this state, nothing controls you and everything flows with grace.🌸 Jai Shree Krishna!🙏🏼🌸 #detachment #surrender #yogshaktihi #yogajourney

🧘‍♀️✨ What are the 8 limbs of yoga? (And nope, it’s not about turning into an octopus 🐙😅) Yoga is so much more than just poses. The physical practice (asana) is just one piece of a much deeper journey. The 8 limbs of yoga come from the ancient text The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 📜 and offer a beautiful roadmap for living with more presence, balance, and meaning 🌿💛 Here’s a quick peek at each limb: 1️⃣ Yama – Ethical guidelines (like kindness, non-harming) 🤝 2️⃣ Niyama – Personal practices (like self-discipline, contentment) 🕯️ 3️⃣ Asana – Physical postures 🧘‍♀️ 4️⃣ Pranayama – Breath control 🌬️ 5️⃣ Pratyahara – Turning inward (withdrawing the senses) 👁️ 6️⃣ Dharana – Concentration 🎯 7️⃣ Dhyana – Meditation 🧘‍♂️ 8️⃣ Samadhi – Bliss, unity, deep peace ✨🌌 Each limb is a step on the path—starting from how we treat others and ourselves, to how we move, breathe, focus, and connect with something greater 💫 Thanks for sharing @Yogawithmariatherese If you’re looking to improve your flexibility and haven’t found the right routine yet, If stiffness is making your yoga practice difficult.
