SERENITY FLOW

The Vagus Nerve Yoga Experience 

Awaken your inner Calm + Balance

Namaste and Welcome!

It has been a goal of mine to create a class that serves as a safe haven for survivors of PTSD and Domestic Violence to recover in. As a coach and instructor, I am dedicated to creating an experience that allows you to embody your true nature and find your childlike spirit again.

We will learn what it means to move with ease and strength, taking on new perspectives that serve as a catalyst for change, not only on the mat but in our daily lives.

We will hum, sing, chant, move and much more, learning creative ways to stimulate our Vagus nerve and regulate our entire nervous system.

My intention is that you will take with you the teachings of non-violence out into the world and share it with others.

This class is a FREE community class with a suggested donation of $10.

You are welcome to pay online or in person, whichever you prefer. If you are unable to pay do not be deterred from participating in this class. All who respect the class, space, and teacher are welcome. All levels Welcome.

What disrupts the Vagus Nerve's Function?

Physical Damage: Injury or surgery that damages the vagus nerve can disrupt its communication.

Inflammation: Inflammation in the body can interfere with the nerve's signals.

Chronic Stress: Long-term stress can alter the functioning of the vagus nerve, affecting its ability to regulate relaxation and digestion.

Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body can affect the vagus nerve.

Gastrointestinal Issues: Since the vagus nerve is involved in digestion, problems in the gastrointestinal tract, like ulcers or infections, can disrupt its function.

Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can damage nerves, including the vagus nerve, affecting its communication.
