Eye Yoga - Keeping your head still, take your right hand with your pointer finger and move your finger (slowly) back and forth from side to side and only move your eyes. Try not to move your head as you follow your finger. After you have tried this a few times, do this with a partner and have them watch you follow your finger to see if you can still your head. You can also move your finger up and down and in different positions but only follow with your eyes.
This practice helps activate the vagus nerve, a key player in our nervous system that regulates many essential functions, including digestion, blood flow, heart rate, and emotional balance.
All of the regulation strategies we’ve been practicing this year can be found on our school website.
