The fourth vagal toning class focuses on the upper cervical vertebrae and the occipital muscles at the base of your skull. Since the vagus nerve descends through these areas of your neck, self-massage in these sensitive spots can create relief from tension headaches and jaw pain. This a great class to take after seeing the dentist or if you are prone to TMJ and neck tightness. The goal of this practice is to help you create more flow through the mind-body superhighway of communication and there is a bigger picture, and this is why we are here. We are here, not simply to survive, but to be the creators of our lives. To feel joy, to seek beauty, to find love.

When the brain is able to communicate between the left and right hemispheres, you are better able to recognize your emotions and communicate them to others. Integration between the two sides of your brain helps you pay attention to the big picture of your life while also being able to focus on what is right in front of you. Put simply, when the two sides of your brain are working together, you feel integrated and whole. You are able to identify what is important and engage in meaningful actions that provide you with a sense of purpose. Likewise, it is beneficial to build connections between your brain and your body. This vagal toning class offers self-applied touch and movement practices to provide your brain with proprioceptive and vestibular sensory inputs, enhance brain and body integration, and help you come out of the automatic defensive activation.

This class focuses on the interconnection between the vagus nerve and the fascia of the body. After a short didactic lecture with slides we hone in on the role of self-applied touch in areas of the face and neck where the vagus nerve is close to the surface of your skin. The vagal toning strategies in this session are focused on providing you with relief if you tend to clench your jaw, grind your teeth, or are prone to tension headaches. We explore gentle movements focused on letting go of tension around the upper chest and heart before closing with some grounding strategies of joint rotations and full-body rocking movements.

Chronic stress and trauma can take a toll on our physical and mental health. The portion of the nervous system that functions without our conscious awareness is called the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which either mobilizes energy through our sympathetic nervous system or conserves energy through our parasympathetic nervous system.
