Best Yoga Classes in Apopka, FL

Yoga offers a tremendous therapeutic tool for releasing the imprint of trauma, because of its unique ability to regulate vagus nerve function and restore balance to the autonomic nervous system. The health of the autonomic nervous system ties into every other system in the body. This includes our endocrine system, our digestive system, our respiratory system, and our cardiovascular system. Ongoing chronic stress and trauma often causes imbalances in the autonomic nervous system. When this happens, we can stay wound up in sympathetic fight-or-flight model of functioning for extended periods of time, unable to settle down and relax. Over time, this will also affect the balance of all the other systems of the body and it lays the foundation for chronic conditions. Not surprisingly, research shows that people who live with the effects of past trauma tend to have much higher rates of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and so on. ~Dr. Arielle Schwartz Author of Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery...
