The science behind the yoga and stress:
I love yoga and I love the brain so Yoga is thoughts it's various components. It targets strengths, targets flexibility and so on but of course it's central objective is the mind.
It makes us karma and it improves our ability to redirect our thoughts when we are in a state of stress. The prefrontal cortex parts of that are what we use whenever we focus our attention.
We stop our thoughts from drifting away and we work at the task at hand and try to resist all distractions no matter how painful no matter how emotionally challenging to keep doing what we are,
So by bending our bodies up and down we are creating distractions. We are creating a tug of war and then we're using our prefrontal cortex to bring us back.
We are intermittently changing the pressure within the brain and that triggers stress response through the sympathetic nervous system.
And also its antidote to the parasympathetic nervous systems and it sort of mimics the situations we probably encounter in real life whenever we gi through stress.
At the end of every Yoga asana you're getting this relaxation response. This parasympathetic signal, the sympathetic signal is going down and so after a series of 5,10,15 su h postures.
You're getting the ability to physically feel what it is like to be relaxed.
