The palatoglossus is a small muscle at the back of your tongue that connects to your vagus nerve the nerve that helps regulate your heart, gut, breath, and immune system.
If your tongue rests low in your mouth, it can indirectly affect your vagus nerve through this connection.
Proper tongue posture means your tongue is resting on the roof of your mouth, just behind your top front teeth. This keeps your jaw, breath, and nervous system in sync.
Try this tongue posture reset:
1. Place the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth just behind your top teeth
2. Flatten the rest of your tongue against the roof using gentle suction
3. Close your mouth and breathe through your nose
4. Hold this position for a few breaths
