Restorative Asana and Sound Bath:

Toning the Vagus Nerve

with Gwi-Seok Hong and Marlene Patton

The vagus nerve is a key part of the "gut-brain connection," running from the brainstem to the large intestine. It helps manage involuntary functions like heart rate, breathing and digestion. We will gently stimulate the vagus nerve through a specially designed āsana sequence, complemented by the vibrations of a sound bath with our musician, Marlene. The restorative āsana practice will be followed by a short toning session focusing upon vagus nerve stimulation. These practices can reset the nervous system and promote calmness and clarity.

Our bones provide the scaffolding for the whole body. Throughout our lives, but especially as we age, we strive to keep our bones strong so we can move through the world and confidently engage in all the activities we love.

In this workshop, for all levels of Iyengar Yoga practitioners, we will focus on āsanas specifically to build and maintain bone strength.

We will cover standing poses, arm balances, twists, backbending, and inversions, all geared toward healthy bones.

If you've been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis, this workshop will be useful and appropriate for your condition.

Yoga for Peace is an invitation to remember that the peace we long to see in the world begins within. When we tend to our inner stillness, we begin to embody peace, naturally radiating calm into our homes, our communities, and beyond. This is not passive work – it is a meaningful and powerful form of change, and it begins right here, on the mat.

What to expect:

Weʻll begin with restorative yoga – a practice of supported surrender using bolsters, blankets, and blocks. Each pose gently guides the nervous system back to a state of ease.

Weʻll then transition into sound healing. These resonant tones move through both the physical and energetic body, inviting balance, harmony, and flow, guiding us back to our true nature.

Peace Within, Peace Without. As we cultivate quiet within, it naturally ripples outward. Peace is felt – and shared.

Please arrive a few minutes early to settle in.
