Join Integral Yoga Therapist Diana Meltsner for a transformative session combining Yoga Asana, Pranayama, and vocal vibration to activate the vagus nerve, also known as cranial nerve X, and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system.

A balanced nervous system is one of the many physiological benefits of Yoga, especially through the Integral Yoga sequencing. In this workshop, you will learn a variety of techniques to engage the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS), which helps slow the heart and breathing rates, lower blood pressure, and promote optimal digestion. This process encourages the body to enter a state of deep relaxation, fostering recovery and healing.

Spending more time in a PSNS state promotes overall health, dismantling stress, trauma, and tension patterns in both the body and breath. By regulating the nervous system, you’ll gain a powerful tool for healing on all levels—physical, mental, and emotional. Some anatomy presentations will be included.

This workshop will be recorded for later viewing and shared for limited time with all enrolled students. Yoga teachers are eligible for 2 hours of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through Yoga Alliance, upon request.
