Demystifying the Vagus Nerve
Join Catherine for this workshop to learn about the vagus nerve and how it affects our stress and energy levels.
Together, we’ll discover how vagus influences our ability to relax and stimulates our capacity to rest and digest. We’ll look at how increased vagal tone supports our resilience, supporting our ability to transition from sympathetic response (i.e. fight / flight / freeze / fawn), to the calm and sociable state of the parasympathetic.
Also included is an overview of how we can use its natural power to treat conditions as diverse as trauma, inflammation and migraine.
Unlock your natural resilience with the “Demystifying the Vagus Nerve Yoga Workshop,” led by Catherine Annis.

This accessible session explores the vagus nerve, polyvagal theory, and the autonomic nervous system – showing how these systems shape your mood, energy, digestion, stress response, and overall well-being.
You’ll discover how your nervous system influences everything from emotional balance to physical vitality, and – most importantly – how to shift yourself toward greater calm, ease, and connection using simple, science-backed tools.
Whether you experience anxiety, fatigue, chronic stress, or simply want to feel more grounded and alive, this workshop offers practical techniques you can use immediately to support lasting change.
