Understanding Your Nervous System & Polyvagal Theory
Welcome to Session 3
This session, we dive into one of the most powerful systems in our body—the Nervous System.
It influences everything: how we think, feel, react, and even how we connect with others. By understanding how it works, you gain the tools to regulate, balance, and even rewire your responses to the world around you.
There are plenty of helpful tools in the video—check the timestamps below if you’d like to jump straight to the practice and breathing sessions!

Medical Disclaimer:
The breathing and wellbeing assessments and techniques offered by Sharon Burkey and The Social Breathwork are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. They are designed to support but should not replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from your GP or healthcare provider, unless you decide for them to do so.
When we begin our nervous system reset and explore breathwork more deeply in week 3, I will ask you to complete a medical questionnaire to ensure the breathing techniques are suitable for you or need to be adapted if needed.
Breathwork and body-based practices can be a powerful tool for both physical and mental wellbeing, but if you have any serious concerns about your health, whether physical or mental, please reach out to your healthcare provider.
If, at anytime, you experience discomfort, dizziness, chest pain, or other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention by way of your medical provider.
Your wellbeing matters. Care for your body, listen to yourself, and know that your wellbeing and safety is always the priority. By continuing with this course, you acknowledge and agree to these terms.
