Kundalini Yoga for Vagus Nerve Vitality
Kundalini Yoga is more than just postures it’s a psychophysiological practice integrating breathwork, meditation, mantra, and movement to regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and build emotional resilience.
📚 Evidence-Based Benefits:
Recent research confirms the power of Kundalini Yoga to improve mental health:
-
Reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression
A randomized control trial published in Journal of Clinical Psychiatry (2020) found that Kundalini Yoga significantly reduced generalized anxiety symptoms, comparable to cognitive-behavioral therapy in some participants.
-
Improves emotional regulation & brain function
Neuroimaging studies (e.g., Frontiers in Psychology, 2019) show that regular practice enhances activity in the prefrontal cortex and insula, areas involved in emotional awareness, decision-making, and empathy.
-
Enhances vagal tone & stress resilience
Kundalini Yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system through rhythmic breathing and mantra, supporting the body’s natural relaxation response (Peressutti et al., Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, 2010).
-
Reduces rumination and improves self-concept
Meditation and chanting in Kundalini Yoga engage the default mode network of the brain, linked to self-awareness and reduced negative thinking (Brewer et al., Psychiatry Research, 2011).
There is also specific research correlating Kundalini Yoga to reducing symptomatic behaviours of ADD/ADHD, OCD, BPD, and eating disorders.
