Aren't we all tired of being triggered, feeling ready to set everything fire or numbness?
Maybe you feel like exhausted as you can't continue anymore...
Are you ready to sooth your own nervous system, shift from fight/flight mode to rest/digest mode.
Let's dive deep to this very important topic.
Autonomic nervous system, which splits into two branches: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.
The SNS is a part of the autonomic nervous system that is responsible for the “fight-or-flight” responses in the body. When activated, it can result in anxiety or increased stress, disrupting the overall balance of the nervous system.
When the SNS is dominant your heart rate and blood pressure increase, your breathing quickens, blood is shunted to your limbs and away from your core, digestion slows, your pupils dilate, you sweat. Your body is activated to move, to get going, to engage, and yes, to fight or flee for survival.
Your parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is responsible for bringing you back to homeostasis, for relaxing you. It’s not that it’s better than your SNS.
When your PNS is dominant your heart rate and blood pressure decrease, your breathing slows, blood returns to your core, you carry on with digestion, you rest. Not needing to project out into the world, your body’s resources can be used for recuperation, maintenance, and growth.
A healthy, regulated nervous system is one with a dynamic interplay between SNS and PNS dominance. A body that starts up and gets going as needed and, when the pressure is off, returns to a resting state. It’s like a healthy muscle that contracts and gives you strength when you need it, and softens into relaxation (not chronic tension) when you don’t.
In a yoga practice we’re often activating the SNS.
Part of why yoga helps people in seemingly mysterious ways in life is because it gives us a controlled opportunity to go into SNS dominance and return to PNS dominance, sometimes over and over again within one practice session.
By maintaining awareness and control of your breath even as it changes in class, and modulating your effort when your breath gets out of control, you’re working with your nervous system.
Yoga trains a regulated nervous system.
It takes time and repetition. The practice accumulates, the path becomes easier to find, and your body remembers what it feels like to actually rest. Sometimes we can be so far away from that experience it’s almost scary when we tap into it again.
We will be focusing on nervous system regulation massages, movements, breathing techniques and meditation where it direct your mind a state of regulation which you can shift from fight/flight mode (SNS) to calmness (PNS)
