Adriene Mishler Shares 10-Minute Yoga Routine to Reset the Nervous System

Summary
Adriene Mishler, known as Yoga With Adriene, posted a 10-minute yoga routine this week aimed at helping viewers “reset” their nervous system through a short, low-intensity practice.
Simon Smail, a U.K. GP and medical director at Evergreen Medical & Wellness Clinic in Edinburgh, said the phrase refers to supporting the autonomic nervous system as it shifts from stress activation back to a calmer baseline.
Smail said yoga can help because it combines gentle movement, stretching, controlled breathing and body awareness—tools that may especially benefit people who feel chronically stressed, anxious, overwhelmed or burnt out.
The routine requires no equipment and is done seated or lying down, though Mishler says it can also be adapted to a chair because the main emphasis is on breathing rather than strenuous poses.
The broader takeaway is that “nervous system regulation” is not a formal diagnosis; the goal is not constant calm, but a more flexible stress response that can recover after challenges.
