Show Notes
In today's" Yoga Snack," we discuss simple yet effective vagal toning exercises designed to help regulate the nervous system and promote a sense of calm. Tailored for both personal self-care and therapeutic client sessions, the episode dives into practices such as diaphragmatic breathing, shoulder release techniques, and bee breath meditation. Additionally, listeners can gain insights into the anatomical and physiological aspects of the vagus nerve, its role in stress regulation, and the application of these exercises in therapy sessions.
" Knowing that bringing yoga into the therapy room can be an experiment to see what works for each client, and it's important to individualize to different bodies and needs." -Chris McDonald
