Your Inner Radiance: The Science Behind Volt Box's Women's Wellness Package 🧠

Tired of feeling stressed, depleted, and struggling to sleep? At Volt Box, we created our new Female Only Yoga & Sound Bath Package to fix exactly that. This isn't just "stretching"; it's a powerful, science-backed system for women to reclaim their energy, strength, and inner calm.

We’re excited to offer these services right here at Volt Box!

1. Kundalini Breathwork: Rewiring Your Stress Response

What it is: Dynamic movements and powerful, rhythmic breathing exercises (pranayama).

The Scientific Evidence (The Vagus Nerve): Your body has a stress switch (sympathetic nervous system) and a calm switch (parasympathetic nervous system). When you're stressed, the stress switch is stuck ON, raising your stress hormone, cortisol. Research, including a 2012 article in Medical Hypotheses from Boston University School of Medicine, hypothesizes that yoga works by increasing Vagal Tone—the body's ability to successfully shift from a stressful state to a relaxed state via the Vagus nerve [1].

• Benefit: Lowered cortisol, reduced anxiety, and a feeling of instant, stable energy.

2. Ashtanga Yoga: Building Bone & Mental Toughness

What it is: A challenging, fixed sequence of poses linked by breath, building heat and strength.

The Scientific Evidence (Osteoporosis Prevention): Ashtanga is a weight-bearing, high-intensity practice. For women, this is crucial, as hormonal shifts later in life can increase the risk of bone loss. A 2022 study on therapeutic yoga and women aged 40–45 found that a targeted yoga approach was effective in reducing osteoporosis risk [2]. Consistent engagement in such weight-bearing practices is vital for maintaining bone mineral density.

• Benefit: Stronger bones, higher stamina, and serious mental focus that carries over into your daily life.

3. Yoga Flow (Release & Restore): Hormones and Healing

What it is: A balanced class that moves from active sequences (Flow) to long, supported holds (Restore).

The Scientific Evidence (Hormonal Regulation): Chronic stress and inflammation directly disrupt the endocrine system via the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis—your body’s primary stress response system. A 2017 systematic review by Pascoe et al. found that regular yoga practice can significantly lower cortisol in individuals experiencing chronic stress [3]. By fostering this deep relaxation, Restorative practices help regulate the HPA axis, supporting healthier hormonal cycles.

• Benefit: Improved flexibility, better posture, and a calming effect that supports hormonal balance.

4. ⭐ Bedtime Soundbath: Hacking Your Sleep Cycle ⭐

What it is: Lying down comfortably and being enveloped by the harmonic frequencies of crystal singing bowls and gongs.

The Scientific Evidence (Brainwave Entrainment & Melatonin): This is a direct brain hack for better sleep. Clinical studies on music and sound therapy demonstrate the phenomenon of brainwave entrainment, where sound frequencies shift your brain activity from alert Beta waves to deeply relaxed Theta waves—the state crucial for entering sleep [4]. Furthermore, research has shown that music therapy can significantly increase serum melatonin levels, supporting the body’s natural sleep cycle [5].

• Benefit: Profound reduction in anxiety, leading to faster onset of sleep and deeper, more restful sleep quality.
