Yoga offers a multitude of benefits and serves people who practice it in a variety of ways. For some, it\u2019s just a good stretch, while for others, it\u2019s a way of connecting mind, body and spirit.<\/p>\n

Adriene Mishler, better known online as Yoga With Adriene<\/a>, shared a 10-minute routine this week that promises to reset your nervous system, which got us wondering what that actually means?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Simon Smail, a GP (medical doctor) in the U.K. and medical director of Evergreen Medical & Wellness Clinic<\/a> in Edinburgh, says that the nervous system referred to in this context is the autonomic nervous system, which manages the body\u2019s fight-or-flight response.<\/p>\n

\u201cNervous system regulation is popular shorthand rather than a formal medical diagnosis, but it broadly refers to how the body moves from a heightened state of stress to a calmer baseline,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone has a nervous system that naturally moves between activation and recovery throughout the day, so in that sense we can all benefit from habits that support good regulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who feel chronically stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out and wired may benefit more than other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is not to be calm all the time, but to have a flexible stress response\u2014you\u2019re able to rise to challenges and then settle afterwards,\u201d Smail concludes.<\/p>\n

So, can yoga help to reset the nervous system?<\/p>\n

Anything that helps you feel less stressed can support the nervous system, and yoga is a great stress relief tool for a lot of people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think yoga can be really helpful because it combines several of the things we know can help support stress regulation: gentle movement, stretching, controlled breathing, and body awareness,\u201d Smail explains.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need any equipment to do this routine, but it is a practice that\u2019s done entirely from a seated or lying position, so you might want to roll out your yoga mat.<\/p>\n

You can also do this routine from a chair, according to Mishler, because the main focus of the routine is controlled breathing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yoga offers a multitude of benefits and serves people who practice it in a variety of ways.
