The Momentum Replay Series replays our top episodes so that you have the chance to catch episodes you missed, and refresh on others.

In this episode I talk through something close to my heart, the biophysiological underpinnings of yoga’s benefit. Given how much yoga comes up on this podcast it seems important too look at different understandings and frameworks of this diverse practice.
What is covered in this episode:
>> The effect of stress on the sympathetic nervous system response (fight, flight or freeze)
>> How the ‘relaxation response’ of the parasympathetic nervous system works
>> The vagus nerve’s link with yoga and the relaxation response
>> How yoga buffers the stress response and may be associated with positive epigenetic changes
