Nov 21 — The Neuroscience of Yoga with Stephanie Lopez, Denise Hatch + Madhuri Martin - FREE YOGA SUMMIT
Explore the relationship between yoga, the brain, the nervous system, and embodied well-being, with practical perspectives for bringing contemporary neuroscience into yoga practice.
Yoga has long offered practices for calming the mind, strengthening the body, and cultivating greater awareness. Today, neuroscience is helping us understand more deeply why these practices can have such a profound effect on the way we feel, think, respond, and relate to others.
Our nervous system is constantly receiving information from both within and around us. It influences how we respond to stress, experience emotions, connect with others, recover from challenges, and move through the world. When the nervous system is overwhelmed or chronically activated, we may find ourselves reacting automatically, feeling anxious or disconnected, struggling to rest, or losing access to our natural capacity for clarity, connection, and resilience.
Yoga offers powerful tools for working with these patterns. Through conscious breathing, movement, meditation, relaxation, and embodied awareness, we can begin to better understand the relationship between the brain, body, breath, and nervous system. We can learn how to recognize our habitual stress responses and explore practices that support greater regulation, resilience, emotional well-being, and connection. Understanding the nervous system can change the way we understand yoga.
Join Stephanie Lopez, Denise Hatch, and Madhuri Martin for an inspiring and experiential exploration of yoga, neuroscience, and the nervous system. Together, we will explore how ancient yogic practices and contemporary understanding of the brain and body can help us develop greater awareness of how we respond to stress—and how we can cultivate new possibilities for health, healing, and connection.
