Vagus Nerve Yoga with Dr. Arielle Schwartz: Wild and Free

Wild and Free At a time in the world when our essential freedoms are being threatened we can feel helpless or powerless. This class is about reclaiming your birthright of embodiment—to feel yourself as wild and free. Physically, we will work with the fascia in the side bodies to release the sticky spots, and open the subtle body…flow of energy Freeing up the blocks or somatic armor that inhibit our embodiment of our power Come take a live class: https://drarielleschwartz.com/vagus-n... Card from the Post-Traumatic Growth Card Deck: Wild And Free Wild animals instinctively protect themselves against predators, flee from danger, and shake once they are safe. You too can use the healing power of movement. Your body bears the burdens of traumatic events and holds keys to healing. Bring awareness to your body. Notice how you intuitively want to move, or try this short sequence: Stand upright, then bend your knees to a squat, and return to a standing position. Repeat this several times. Run in place for a short burst until you feel your heart beating more rapidly. Create claws with your fingertips. Growl like a bear. Shake your whole body, and then pause in stillness. Allow yourself to feel wild and free. Order your deck: https://www.amazon.com/Post-Traumatic... Poem from today: My own deep soul by Reiner Maria Rilke, translated by Joanna Macy and Anita Barrows You, my own deep soul, trust me, I will not betray you. My blood is alive with many voices telling me I am made of longing. What mystery breaks over me now? In its shadow I come into life. For the first time I am alone with you – you, my power to feel. #peace #somaticyoga #polyvagaltheory #vagusnerve #yoga #yogainspiration #love
