Vagus Nerve Reset

This movement is a reset for your nervous system. Be gentle with yourself on how deep of a stretch you make, especially if you've been anxious or stressed out. - Set up in a supported, comfortable position with your spine upright - Pre-check neck rotation left and right, feel out your neck tightness - Drop your head to one side, keeping shoulders dropped down and neutral - Hold your head down with your hand to find a gentle stretch. Experiment with slight changes in angle to find opening and relief. - Look up toward the side you're stretching to. It can be tempting to close your eyes, but this visual piece is a part of the nerve stretch - Breathe using deep belly breaths and hang out there for 30 or more seconds - Repeat on the other side - Post-test your neck rotation to each side
