🧘 Dive into the healing practice of vagus nerve restorative yoga 🌿
Find peace amidst the chaos of overstimulation by embracing slow, still movements that ground you in your body. 🌟 In a world constantly pushing for hustle and achievement, restorative yoga offers a sanctuary to activate your parasympathetic nervous system and embrace rest and digest mode. 💆‍♀️
Moving slowly is an intentional practice, especially in a culture that values speed and constant advancement. 🐢 In restorative yoga, we quiet our minds by being still in our bodies, nurturing our well-being with compassion and gentleness. 🌸Yoga is powerful medicine, but it works slowly. When we regulate our nervous systems, life becomes more spacious, allowing us to connect deeply with our hearts and express our truth authentically. 💖
As we slow down and care for ourselves, we model this possibility for others, creating environments of safety and resonance for collective healing. 🌿 By taking time for these gentle poses, you're not just nurturing yourself but also shifting the frequency of your community towards co-regulation. 🌱 By embracing softness and kindness, we inspire others to live from their hearts as well, fostering a frequency of trust and co-regulation. 🕊️🙏

I created an anchor of safety for the world……. Thankyou so much Melissa for this simply beautiful restorative class… you are indeed a Nurturing Goddess!🦋🪽this class could not come at a more opportune time for me at least as I had become completely frazzled in the past months and got caught up trying to be everything to everybody and we all know that that never works😂🤪. Now I feel reminded of what is really important. Bless you 🙏🏻💕

nope, it never does seem to work! I seem to need daily reminders of what is important....

Thank you so much for working on your audio quality!!! I recently found your channel through the COVID recovery playlist, but it was hard for me to enjoy them because of the stagic noise. It is really great to see you making the efford to improve the quality of your videos. Thanks for a great restorative hour.

[@drmelissawest]

When we used to do live classes, we had less control over the audio quality. Thanks for hanging in there with us.

[@ntrowan3987]

Safety tip - if people are new to 4 7 8 breathing, I’ve seen it recommended that they only do 3 rounds at a time. The video has more than 3 rounds.
Lovely class! I look forward to doing this one again. I really liked the variation of poses and breathing. The long pose holds were great.

[@drmelissawest]

Thanks so much for the tip!

This is another life saving practise for me I can't thank you enough for it! I had another terrible night of a racing heart and a cold sweating body I couldn't find any sleep. At half past 5 I get up early and decided not to follow my torturous pitta energy. I knew I would find deep quality rest here and after 35 min in or so my heartbeat came back to a normal 60bpm and I could feel my whole system starting to reset. The rest and digest feeling came back and I don't feel tired and ready for the world outside. Thank you so much!

[@drmelissawest]

I’m so sorry to hear about your night. What a gift to take care of yourself in this way 💗🙏🪽 I hope you had a good day and that you sleep peacefully and deeply tonight. May all beings know peace and may all beings be free of suffering 💗🪽🙏

[@jensschrader1483]

@@drmelissawest Yes, I had a very peaceful night my jaw and my neck are soft. I'm very grateful to have the time to regulate my nervous system when I need to and very grateful to finally realise through your lessons that I need to slow down and reaaly rest!
