Vagus Nerve
Just been reading an article about the vagus nerve. Wanted to share with you all. In yoga we do all sorts of things which help tone the vagus nerve and the article is very applicable to everyone, especially yoga students.
Take a deep breath. Hug a friend. Reach for the ceiling and stretch your limbs. Each of these simple acts bestows a sense of calm and comfort. And each works its soothing magic in part by activating a complicated system of nerves that connects the brain to the heart, the gut, the immune system, and many of the organs. That system is known collectively as the vagus nerve.

So next time your doing some yoga spare a litt;e thought for the vagus nerve and it’s impact to health.

Class Fess – 2020
Class fees (Adults 18 up) from 2020 are £7 cash, and £7.15 card payment.
This is the first price rise since I started teaching at the parish hall (many years). There have been about 3 price rises in hall hire during that time, and it’s gone up again in 2020.
This feels like a fair price considering, especially if you look at class costs and the length and content of the class.

Yoga and SAD
Just stumbled accross and interesting article about how yoga can help people who suffer with SAD.
Here is a quote from the article and the link to it.
A research study shows that regular yoga practice improves depression and can lead to significant increases in serotonin levels. Yoga asanas or poses can directly increase the firing rates of serotonin neurons, resulting in increased production and release of serotonin.
