Join us in this workshop and learn how to tap into your body’s natural ability to heal by toning the longest nerve in our body: the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve functions as a superhighway for our nervous system. It is a nerve that is vital for many bodily functions, as it controls our immune system, heart rate, blood pressure, stress levels, breathing, digestion, inflammation, blood sugar levels and more. It also influences our mood and anxiety levels. A weak ‘vagal tone’ is associated with many auto-immune diseases, depression, IBS und other GI-related conditions. In this workshop we will explore techniques to strengthen the vagal tone, and learn about the autonomic nervous system, benefits of cold-water therapy, Heart rate variability as an indicator of longevity and much more. Workshop will incorporate breathing exercises, meditation, gentle yoga (no prior experience necessary) as well as other techniques that tone this vital nerve so you can improve your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
