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. 

🧠 Backed by Psychology:

Each class draws from:

  • Polyvagal theory (Dr. Stephen Porges): Helping regulate the nervous system to move from survival mode into safety and connection.

  • Mindfulness-based cognitive practices: Supporting cognitive flexibility and emotional regulation.

  • Somatic psychology principles: Grounding the body to support trauma integration and present-moment awareness.
