Regulate Your Nervous System | 15 Minute Yoga Practice

Homeostasis, here we come. Take 15 minutes to tend to your nervous system with this regulating rest and digest practice. In this video you will find valuable techniques to cultivate a sense of safety and grounding in times of nervous system disregulation.

Gently guide your body back to a harmonious state through awareness of the breath. Regulate the nervous system by entering the role of the observer. Release self-judgment by practicing self-compassion. The mat is your place to return home to yourself, and a great place to become more familiar with your unique window of tolerance.

Soothe symptoms of stress and nurture the parasympathetic nervous system (AKA the “rest and digest” state) with this calming yoga practice. We will do it together.

Save this session for when you are feeling off balance and need an energetic reset.

Let me know how this one goes for you in the comments!!

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.

I started watching these at 19… I’m 27 now and still pop in when I need more guidance thank you!!!!

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 🙏

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. ❤❤❤

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

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. 🙏🧡🧘‍♀️

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 am on my recovery journey after being unwell..this was such a treat today. Thankyou so much, Adriene xxx

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 💛

[monikashealingyoga]

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. 🙏♥️

[TarrynS]

How did you know I NEED this?! Can’t wait! ❤

[Hong_Mei]

Thank you for this precious moment Adriene ✨

ATTRACT ⚡ | August 27, 2024 | Good to come back to this one, especially on a super busy workday with lots of meetings. This was a great way to rinse it off for a relaxing evening. 🙏

[anastasiak]

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. 🙏

[kapi]

With a sick baby and multiple deadlines this was a wonderful gift ❤

[michaeldusso]

Am extremely grateful for the vibe, a veritable oasis for the soul.

[ariannaceraolo]

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!

[FreyaHatfield]

Attract day 26🎉 thank you, Adriene for this practice, this was perfect, not the one I thought I'd be doing today, but turns out it's what I needed, especially with doing an evening practice. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

[valeriasaulevich]

Right now this type of movement and breathing is ideal for me. I feel comforted each time I do this video.
