This vagus nerve yoga nidra is designed to reset your nervous system from sympathetic activation or or dorsal shutdown. Whether you are feeling anxious and stressed or disconnected, depressed & drained of energy, this yoga nidra will engage neuroception to follow the three streams of awareness: inside your body, outside your body and in between to reset your vagus nerve.

In this Vagus Nerve Reset yoga nida, we invite deep relaxation. As I guide your awareness through your body, I invite a profound sense of stillness to envelop you. Breath awareness and practice will regulate and reset your vagus nerve. With each breath, we nurture connection to the present moment, fostering a sanctuary of peace within ourselves.

Through this practice, we cultivate a harmonious balance between body, mind, and spirit, tapping into the healing power of the vagus nerve to reset and restore inner calm.

This yoga class is about being connected to the presence of love in moving meditation. When we take this time each day to be in the presence of love, we will feel the expansiveness of unconditional love in our lives. It is not a doing, but a letting go and softening that allows us to connect into the expansiveness, vibrance and radiance of our hearts. When we align with the unconditional love that already exists in our hearts we can let go of the striving to try to be better people. This yoga class allows us to slow down and make space for the love that is always and already present in our hearts. It is a devotional practice to love itself. 

The gentle standing yoga postures in this class will align you and your body so that your aura is attuned to the essence of love for your own healing and for all those you connect with in all directions and kind. This loving healing is gentle, grounding, warm, expansive, soft love and love that is always safe. 

Additionally we will tend to anything that is in the way that is blocking us from connecting to the love in our heart. Anything that is keeping us from serving from our hearts and allowing us to be connected to the frequency of love throughout our day. 

Join us in this gentle yoga flow as we trust and follow the currents of love inside to lead others with the heart, this including ourselves and our own internal guidance. It is an honour to practice with all of you spiritual healers, teachers and guides. 

Props Needed: None - this entire class is done standing

Yoga to Let Go Into Love | Yoga with Melissa 689



In this Yin Yang Yoga for your liver and gallbladder we balance the dynamic bursts of yang wood element energy with soothing yin. In this session, we blend the gentle, introspective practice of yin yoga with the fluid movements of hatha flow qigong, all centered around the theme of connecting with your vision/intention/aspiration in a balanced way.

In spring, your liver and gallbladder organs are the most dominant organs and so it is a great time to focus on planting your seeds of intention. In our culture we love to focus on outward actions of doing, however in this class, I will encourage you to cultivate more inward qualities of being.

In this class, we'll focus on the liver and gallbladder meridians, exploring how emotions like anger, frustration, and irritation can be signs of disconnection from our true vision. The liver loves movement, free flow, and moving towards what we love. Through gentle poses and flowing sequences, we'll invite ease and fluidity into our bodies, embodying the qualities of water - flowing around obstacles with simplicity and harmony.

This class brings balance between yin and yang, movement and stillness, action and contemplation. Discover how embodying these qualities can bring greater harmony, joy, and fulfillment into your life. Let's flow, breathe, and yoga together towards balance and wholeness.

Props Needed - Blanket
