VAGAL YOGA SYSTEM

Vagal Yoga is a holistic system that combines various techniques such as yoga postures, breathing exercises, and meditation practices to stimulate the vagus nerve and promote overall well-being. The vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that runs from the brainstem to the abdomen and plays a role in regulating various bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and immune system response. The goal of Vagal Yoga is to activate the vagus nerve and promote relaxation and balance in the body, which can lead to a reduction in stress, anxiety, and inflammation, and an improvement in mood and overall health.
