Regulate Your Nervous System | 15 Minute Yoga Practice

[@yogawithadriene]

Made with love after delving into my own healing journey with the nervous system which my body definitely called on me to address (Via body anxiety and panic attacks a couple years ago.) It's an ongoing process and almost everyone can benefit from short and consistent practices that help us tune into our individual nervous system health and utilize the tools to guide back toward homeostasis. It can also just feel good to give these issues visibility and allow there to be more accessible shame free support. I got you. Thank you for sharing your practice with me.

[@Nany26283]

Hi, Adriene. I'm in recovery from CPTSD and although there's a lot of information out there, when it comes to guided practice, I hit the wall of payed coaching I just cannot afford. Thank you so much for creating these so generously. I've been practicing from your playlist "Yoga for difficult times" and any practice you add for regulating the nervous system goes to my first aid kit. Thank you 🙏

[@springwood1331]

@Nany Thanks for mentioning that playlist, l'm going to try it out. Arielle Schwartz has some vagus nerve yoga and other practices for stress release that you may also find helpful

[@Bpfleet324]

Once or twice a year, I wake up in the middle of the night having a horrible panic attack which sometimes leads to me throwing up. One happened last night and I remembered all my yoga and mindfulness training; I didn't fight it, just let it happen and focused on deep belly breaths. it passed within 10 minutes and I was able to fall back asleep within a half hour 🎉 Regular practices like this video have literally changed how I respond to and handle stress. I can't thank you enough for the the benefits doing yoga with you for the past 10 years has given me. ❤❤❤

[@lauraaltieri520]

❤❤❤

[@sarahrking]

This happens to me also- the worst panic attacks I’ve experienced are always during the night. Does that seem to be the case for you, too?

[@sealidamony257]

Thank you for the practice. As a person with high functioning anxiety, I was expecting something with more movement and an exercise but this was something I needed much more. In a world of hustle bustle, I forget myself. This practice allowed me to slow down and feel. Tears welled up as I did this practice. Thank you for being here and guiding us with your teaching.

I was harassed in the street last night while walking home. It was horrible and my nervous system is still on high alert. Opened KZbin and saw this, perfect timing Adriene ♥

[@pragatisrivastava6983]

Hi dear . Unfortunately, it is really hard to feel safe and respected for your boundaries...but I want you to know that you deserve to feel safe no matter what comes and goes in life...I have been through a similar experience so I would like you to know I support you in your journey to feel safe after what has happened we are around if you need support....and as Adriene says we are together on the mat when we're breathing for ourselves....so if it's ever too hard to get on to soothing just think someone else who feels the same that has joined you and we can support each other. I wish you all the blessings and believe in you. Take care and stay safe. It's not your fault no matter what happened

[@AllyHaley-ob1xc]

Thanks, Adriene. You bring joy and health to so many souls. Keep shining! ❤

[@ariannaceraolo4381]

Hi Adriene, you have no idea how much your sessions have been helping me in the last few months. Sometimes life can be overwhelming, but living in the "here and now", feeling better thanks to simple yoga and meditation can change your day entirely. Thank you!

[@monikashealingyoga4853]

I love that you’re now doing these short mindfulness practices. I’ve been leading and sharing what I call “meditation in motion” yoga for many years now and when I want to be guided, I come to you. 🙏♥️

[@fluffyross2297]

I love this gorgeous yoga practice, thank you Adriene. Before starting this practice, I was pretty frustrated with someone. I could feel my anger rising, but after doing this beautiful practice, I feel calmer, and at peace a little more now. Thank you for your guidance, and words of wisdom Adriene. After doing yoga daily with you, for one year 288 days, I've found I now carry, your words of wisdom, and yoga techniques off the mat, and into my day a lot more. So thank you, you have truly changed my life in all the best ways. ❤ see you tomorrow morning, Namaste. 🙏🧡🧘‍♀️

[@eclipse77x]

I really needed this today. I bit off more than I could chew and there was too much going on around me as well and I quickly found myself in a manic state. You know, where everything feels like it's on fast-forward? After finishing the video, I felt much calmer and my had heart resumed beating at a normal pace. I love you, Adriene. It's uncanny how the daily video is ALWAYS what I need. ❤

[@theomniscientvoid9553]

Every day is a massive struggle on many levels of being and it's been this way for almost a decade. Anything that feels like there is true care infused in it or something that targets the vagus nerve/ nervous system in general as carefully and methodically as these videos are a godsend in times when you don't know if you'll be able to get through them. There are a lot of people who are hopeless who manage to find some kind of hope with videos like this. Thanks so much and please don't stop 🙏🏼

[@Seahawkess]

Thanks Adrienne because we with Long COVID need to learn this skill to heal, survive and thrive.

[@stephaniemaloney4324]

I had a... sadness that I put off processing for a few days because I just couldn't face it, but avoiding it was taking a lot of energy. This practice today allowed me to let the grief was over and through me, ao I could start to let it go. Thank you, Adriene.

[@franceshobbs3296]

Thank you Adriene. I am recovering from chemotherapy and desperately needed to calm my racing thoughts and do some gentle stretching for my stiff body. This was perfect. ❤

[@Laura-zw6kz]

Adriene, I’ve been a subscriber of yours for a couple of years now. When I first tried yoga, I took a class at a local gym and couldn’t begin to understand how people were able to move that way and ultimately gave up on yoga as a whole despite being constantly told about the numerous benefits. Growing up I was never a super athletic person and never learned how to properly take care of my body. It wasn’t until a couple years ago when I stumbled on your page where I decided to give it one more try. Your videos have truly changed my life. In between struggling with chronic pain and mental health, your content has truly been a godsend for me. I really appreciate your authenticity and non gimmicky approach to this practice. There are so many videos of yours that have helped me more than even some health professionals have been able to with my chronic pain. I can’t imagine my life without yoga now!! You truly have such an incredible gift, thank you so very much for sharing it with the world. ❤

[@freetobe8345]

That was wonderful Adriene. Thank you ❤️🤗💪💯🙏

[@4eburawka18]

THANK YOU 🙏🏻 I really needed this. I have been out of practice for several months now, I've been at the lowest point in my life, then sick, then physically traumatised so I didn't have any physical activity on top of all the other stuff happening. Today was the first time I decided to roll out my yoga mat and found this video in my 'watch later' with no idea what to expect except for 15 min of Adriene and Benji. I am grateful that it was not physically demanding bacause, honestly speaking, sitting with the straight spine for 15 minutes is already not easy for me now. This was a very gentle and healing practice. It gives me hope that I will be able to do some yoga soon. Namaste 🙏🏻

[@nayru33]

Thank you Adriene for this supportive practice. I found you a few years ago, attempting to set myself the challenge of daily practice, but never took. I always used an excuse. Since October 2023, I’ve been completing my daily practices with the monthly calendars and I am forever grateful. In October, my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer, even through the daily hospital visits, chemo and now we’re drawing closer to the time of needing end of life care, you’re now part of my everyday routine when I get up in the morning. Your humour and ease have brought normality, routine and stability to me during a tumultuous time, so thank you for continuing to spread your loving kindness to the world 💛

[@bee_razzle_dazzle]

Sending love and light to you. I went through something similar with my Mom last year, and it was really hard. Yoga and meditation were super helpful. My heart truly goes out to you on this journey.

[@nayru33]

No words can be enough comfort, but for whatever mine are worth, I send you strength for the road ahead. May you too experience the great kindness of strangers to guide you forward to a measure of peace and acceptance.

[@anastasiak2804]

I love the yoga practices that you don’t realise how much you needed them, till after you’ve done them. This hit the spot. 🙏

[@annaofgreengables2279]

Something I really noticed about this practice that is different from the ways I usually try to calm myself is that we're not forcing anything. We're noticing and sitting with what we find. I spent the first half of the video barely taking in any air with each breath because, well, thats how I started. And even as I let it get a little deeper, it was still much shallower than what I normally find (or admittedly, force). And I think thats a really interesting and important approach to finding a sense of safety within yourself. Not running from the scary bits. Not thinking theres something you have to be reaching for in order to "feel better". I am autisitc and because of that, my nervous system is pretty much never regulated. Not to the "normal" degree at least. I have a lot of panic attacks and a lot of anxiety. I have many meltdowns and many days where its hard for me to do much at all. I'm trying to help myself to a better place but I think its really important to take a moment to realise where I am, where we all are, now. Whats happening. What we feel. Acknowledge that maybe tomorrow will feel largely the same. But also that maybe, that can be okay. Take a little time to remember that even the scary bits of life can be somewhere you sit with yourself and say "I am here. I am in the messy bit, and I am still going to love myself". Take care everyone, I hope you know that you are loved. ❤

[@elenaICELOVE]

You ve put into words so well what i have felt through this practice. I 100% agree

You never know you need something until you take a step and try. That's been my healing journey with my body and, most importantly, my mind. That sense of grounding sometimes can skip a bit throughout the day and weeks. I feel the need to calibrate, to find that peace within me. To be present. Thank you, Adriene, for reminding me that some days I just need to sit with myself and breathe. All is well. Love and light✨
