This 15-minute gentle yoga practice is designed to calm your nervous system when you feel overstimulated, overwhelmed, or unable to switch off. This calming yoga class uses slow movement and breath to release excess energy and support deep nervous system regulation. If you’re feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed, or like your nervous system just won’t settle, this gentle yoga practice offers a gradual and supportive way to come back to calm. When we’re overwhelmed, going straight into stillness can feel difficult or even uncomfortable. This class gently bridges that gap — beginning with standing movement to release excess energy, then slowly guiding you down to the mat with soothing, rhythmic movement, long exhales, and grounding breathwork. This is a nourishing, nervous-system-focused gentle yoga class that supports: • nervous system regulation • overwhelm and sensory overload • stress and emotional tension • feeling grounded, safe, and settled The practice finishes with a deeply comforting moment of stillness and a self-hug to help your body feel held and supported. This class is suitable for all levels, requires no prior yoga experience, and is especially supportive if you’re feeling wired, overwhelmed, or emotionally overloaded. 🧘‍♀️ Class length: 15 minutes 🧘‍♀️ Style: Gentle, calming, nervous-system-focused yoga If this practice brought you a sense of calm, please consider liking the video or subscribing for more gentle yoga and meditation. ⚠️ Disclaimer This yoga class is for general information and educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
