Vagus Nerve Breathing

In the app: Vagus Nerve Breathwork

Vagus Nerve Breathwork calms you, eases stress, and brings you back to a settled, balanced state. It's a slow breath built around long, gentle exhales, sometimes with a soft humming sound, designed to stimulate the vagus nerve.

The vagus nerve runs your body's rest-and-digest system, and slow, extended exhales, along with gentle humming, directly stimulate it, shifting you toward calm. You may feel your body slow and soften as the exhales lengthen. Slow breathing and vagal stimulation have been studied for supporting stress regulation and a steadier heart rhythm. It's a modern application of vagus nerve science, drawing on long-standing slow-breathing and humming practices like Bhramari. If the practice feels a little awkward or hard to coordinate at first, that's completely normal, it becomes more natural the more you do it.
