Why you feel instantly calm after yoga

What if I told you there's a single nerve in your body that controls your stress levels, digestion, heart rate, and immune response. Meet the vagus nerve – the hidden superhighway between your brain and body that most people have never heard of, but that's influencing almost every aspect of your health and wellbeing right now.

In this three-part series, let’s talk about one of the most fascinating and powerful systems in your body and how you can activate it to relax anytime.

Part 1:What is the vagus nerve and why does it matter? We'll explore how this mysterious nerve works and why scientists are calling it the key to understanding stress, anxiety, and chronic health issues.

Part 2: Simple vagus nerve activation techniques you can do anywhere in under two minutes. I’ll guide you through the powerful “box breathing" method that instantly shifts your nervous system from stress mode to calm.

Part 3: Here’s a surprisingly simple pressure point technique that sends immediate safety signals to your brainstem. I’ll show you exactly how to position your hands to stimulate key receptors along your head and cervical spine, triggering your vagus nerve's relaxation response in seconds. This one is perfect for moments of acute stress or anxiety.

Your vagus nerve is the remote control to your nervous system – it's time you learned how to use it.
