I found this fascinating. Like sound healing, except you’re doing it from within. It is similar to the concepts of the sounds you make in yoga. Science seems to be catching up to ancient practices.

I regularly recommend humming and other vagus nerve exercises to my telehealth patients as gentle yet powerful tools for nervous system regulation, calming inflammation, hormone balance and supporting gut health.  
  
Humming instantly spikes nitric oxide, tones the vagus nerve, lowers cortisol, releases stored tension, and activates rest-and-digest mode — making it incredibly effective for anxiety, insomnia, trauma healing, and chronic stress. I also recommend complementary practices like deep breathing, gargling, and singing, paired with vagal nerve stimulation devices, to improve heart rate variability, reduce inflammation, balance hormones, support gut healing, and ease autoimmune symptoms. These simple daily tools create the internal safety your body needs to move from survival mode into true repair and vibrant health.

I have now completed the 1st 2 sections of my teacher training course, just a welcome and introduction with a little information about yoga alliance. It did include a vinyasa flow and pranayama (breathwork) with mediation centered around filling your cup. These are my main take aways:
1. I did not like how the vinyasa flow was presented. This is fine. It showed me that I already have a strong preference for the types of cues I like to receive and hope to give.
2. You cannot pour from an empty cup simply meaning you cannot give from a state of depletion. It is up to you to fill your own cup. To do this, you must have some level of self awareness and understanding and a willingness to set aside the doing of life and allow yourself to rest in the being of existence for a while.
3. I am coming into this course with more knowledge and understanding than I realized while still having a lot left to learn including judgements to let go of.
4. Everyone is both teacher and student in all of life and that never changes. There is something to learn from everyone.
