Tune into this real case study with a Breathing Deeply Yoga Therapy student, Nancy Clough, that shows how therapeutic yoga and pranayama dramatically improved symptoms in a 40-year-old mason with early-onset Parkinson's.

In this yoga therapy case study, you'll discover:

✓ How yoga nidra restored function to a paralyzed hand

✓ The specific practices that improved coordination and balance

✓ Why his neurologist started researching yoga nidra

✓ The mental and emotional breakthroughs alongside physical gains

✓ Results achieved in just 6 sessions over 2 months

This case demonstrates the power of working through the koshas - addressing the whole person rather than just physical symptoms.

What does it really mean to do nothing while still taking action?

In this episode, Brandt explores one of the most powerful philosophical concepts from the yoga tradition: action vs non-action as it is presented in the Bhagavad Gita, the Dao De Jing, the Yoga Sutras, and the Spanda Karika.

This teaching invites us to act from a place of presence and spaciousness, rather than striving or attachment.

Non-action is not about avoiding life. It is about being fully engaged, while staying free from ego-driven striving. By surrendering the results and aligning with a deeper sense of self, our actions become liberating rather than binding.

Learn how this foundational concept can support your meditation practice and guide you toward greater clarity, peace, and inner freedom.
