⨠Vagus Nerve Stimulation Through Gentle Movement â¨
In this video, Kathryn demonstrates variations of a seated spinal twist, each designed to gently stimulate the vagus nerve â a key player in calming the nervous system and supporting emotional regulation.
Slow, intentional spinal rotation paired with breath can signal safety to the body. Twists softly massage the organs, support digestion, and help shift the nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into rest-and-restore.
By offering multiple variations, this practice meets your body where it is. You choose what feels supportive, not forceful.
Benefits of seated spinal twists include:
⢠Vagus nerve stimulation
⢠Nervous system regulation
⢠Reduced stress and anxiety
⢠Improved spinal mobility
⢠Greater mind-body awareness
This is somatic movement â where awareness, breath, and choice come first.
Move gently.
Breathe slowly.
Let your nervous system exhale.
