Nervous system + Breathwork

A common way to practice nervous system regulation is with the breath. Our vagus nerve runs from our brain to our gut, and passes through our throat and lungs. Vagus nerve stimulation and several meditation techniques demonstrate that modulating the vagus nerve has a therapeutic effect, mainly due to its relaxing and anti-inflammatory properties (Breit, Kupferberg, Rogler and Hasler, 2018).

Our breathwork coach, Reis, works with your breathing to give you tools to help you regulate your nervous system with your breath. Reis shares that, “this can be done in real time…wherever you are”. He has a goal-oriented approach to help you learn the science behind our breathing and focusing on our physiology, mechanics of breathing, and our nervous system.
