Join Lara for a conversation with Dr. Svenja Borchers, a brilliant neuropsychologist and LYT YogaⓇ instructor. Dr. Borchers, who lives in Germany, grew up wanting to learn more about why people are the way they are. This led her to a fascination with neuroscience, cognitive psychology, philosophy, and even artificial intelligence. She has a Ph.D. in neuropsychology and focuses on how movement works, perception, and proprioception.

In this episode, you’ll learn…

• What is the difference between the brain and the mind?
• About neuroplasticity (how our brain changes) and what factors impact plasticity.
• Why posture is important from a neuroscience perspective. 
• How different parts of the brain are involved in movement.
• The importance of visualization in movement practices.
• What pain means and how important movement is in relation to pain.
• Brain hacks or things to think about when practicing movement.
