If you have back pain, this posture is your friend! You might not come up this high, but after a good warm (10 postures at least) no matter how high it will be pure relief! Come to my class Monday or Wednesday night 7:30 pm at CorePower Yoga on Grand and I’ll take care of you!

Bhujangasana, Cobra posture…

Great follow up to my Vagus Nerve posts:

The Vagus Nerve, your secret weapon to managing triggers, stress and anxiety. Something many of us greatly need. The vagus nerve is perhaps the nerve with the most impact on our mind and body wellness. It’s the longest cranial nerve, and serves as a communication superhighway between the brain, the nervous system, and the gut (also known as gut-brain axis) In other words, the vagus nerve is THE mind-body connection.

Psychologists say that when we have unresolved trauma, the vagal tone becomes weak. A weak vagal tone is inked to high inflammation (scientifically linked to all psychiatric illness) chronic illness, digestive issues, cardiovascular diseases, mood disorders, etc. A weak vagal tone means we can’t handle or recover from stress quickly, meaning that we remain “stuck” in the nervous system and shutdown, freeze or ignite fight-flight-freeze mode.

When our vagus nerve is thriving, we might feel calm, cool and collected, not as triggered as the usual, a feeling of wellbeing and strong immune system.

How to tone the vagus nerve daily, something we greatly need around high trigger potentials… and basically all the time…

- Breathwork: Strong exhales in particular
- Diaphragmatic breathing
- Nervine herbs (like those featured above!)
- Cold plunges or cold compresses
- Being in nature
- Meditation
- Slow stretching/ yin yoga
- Mindfulness
- Nourishing Wholesome Foods
- Vagal nerve stimulation with electrical impulses (if you have access to it!)

This breathing exercise puts you in touch, in awareness, in respect and love with every muscle, bone, joint and organs if you pay super close attention. Truly miraculous. 20-100x every day.

Standing Deep Breathing…

When we practice yoga postures, we might be doing them for different reasons. We may be trying to reduce the pain in our backs, improve our balance, burn a few calories or experience a deeper spirit...

If you are interested in HOT OUTSIDE YOGA THIS SUMMER, please add me as a friend, Sarah Shomion. I’ll try to post here too, but it’s gotten harder to share a post to this page. So far failed twice. And I don’t like to sit around studying FB’s new updates 🤪😜.

Just want to remind everyone and those new people following this page:

We are closed.

It’s possible after the pandemic, we find a new spot, I actually finish writing the business plan, we reopen better than ever, but while you’re holding your breath, visit these hot yoga studios.
