Book Club! The Great Nerve by Dr. Kevin J. Tracey, MD

About this event

Join Shuniya Yoga Collective for our next quarterly book club gathering as we dive into The Great Nerve by Dr. Kevin Tracey!

Written by one of the most cited medical academics in the world, this groundbreaking look at the vagus nerve and body-brain communication will reshape your understanding of health, healing, and resilience… whether you are completely new to the science of “the great nerve” or are looking to deepen your understanding, this gathering is an open, inclusive space for curious minds of all backgrounds and experience levels to connect, share insights, and learn.

For this 75-minute event, our book club facilitator since 2019, Josh Hale, will lead an interactive discussion exploring the book’s key takeaways, including: how the vagus nerve acts as the body's internal "brake pedal" for stress, practical ways to influence the autonomic nervous, and an exploration of the ways vagal nerve pathways influence stress modulation, immune response, and overall well-being.
