Bed Yoga for Moms — 22-Min Nervous System Reset When You Can't Turn Off

Feeling calm? Have a question? Send me a text:)This is for the mom whose body forgot how to stop. You get to bed. The kids are down. The house is finally quiet. And your body is still on.Still scanning. Still bracing. Still waiting for the next thing.I lived like that for years. And what I didn't understand was that my nervous system had been on duty so long it forgot it was allowed to rest.This 22-minute bed yoga practice is nervous system work done in the one place you actually have left to yourself — your bed.You don't have to get up.You don't have to change.You don't even have to try.Just lie back with me.In this practice we use:→ Constructive rest position→ Extended exhale breathing→ Hand on heart for co-regulation→ Gentle somatic release for stored tension→ Orienting to send your body the signal it's safeThis is the Friday piece of Help a Mother's Nervous System Week at The Calm Lab. Monday we had the podcast and yoga nidra. Thursday the full education video dropped. And this is the practice you do tonight.Grounded in polyvagal theory. Made for the mom whose body has been running on empty.⏰ TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Lie back with me — opening practice2:30 Why your body won't turn off (the science)4:30 Constructive rest position7:00 Extended exhale breathing10:30 Somatic release for stored tension14:00 Hand on heart — co-regulation17:00 Orienting to safety20:00 Integration and closing─────────────────────────────🎙️ New podcast episode dropping MondaySpotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/6aDkTER8NLlkFfiOKAS5Z2Apple → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-calm-lab-podcast/id1825913005📌 Pinterest → pinterest.com/thecalmlabwithkassandra─────────────────────────────📺 HELP A MOTHER'S NERVOUS SYSTEM WEEK:Monday's Yoga Nidra → [https://youtu.be/-fAP98u9ty8?si=05r4gfmgE5I8yaejMonday's Podcast → https://www.buzzsprout.com/2518406/episodes/19005976Thursday's Full Video → https://youtu.be/xASDCvmvMOo?si=U_xEuJtCxbNhiP9nFriday's Bed Yoga — you're watching it now 🌿Namasté Your Life, LLC recommends consulting your physician before beginning any exercise program.
