Yoga, in its original form, was created as a science for liberation. In modern times, it is used by many for improving physical and mental health, helping us become more productive at work, more caring in relationships, and more responsible contributors to society and inhabitants of this planet. If yoga does accomplish all that—and many practitioners have experienced this to be true in their own lives—how exactly does yoga do it? How does yoga work?

On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host, Dhru, talks to Eddie Stern, a yoga teacher, author, and lecturer based in Brooklyn, New York. He is known for his multidisciplinary approach to furthering education and access to yoga, as well as his teaching expertise in Ashtanga Yoga. He most recently created The Breathing App, which guides the user in a paced breathing exercise that balances the nervous system, improves sleep, and reduces stress and anxiety. His book, One Simple Thing: A New Look at the Science of Yoga and How It Can Transform Your Life was just released.

In this episode, Dhru and Eddie talk about what makes yoga such an effective practice from a neurophysiological perspective, and how transcendence is wired into our biology. They talk about the mechanics beneath the surface of our bodies and how we can consciously use yogic practices to direct and change our lives in positive ways. They also discuss how what we do—from postures to meditation, from breathing techniques to chanting and to ethical practices—affects who we become, and how a steady routine of activities and attitudes can transform our bodies, our brain functions, our emotions, and our experience of life.

In this episode, we dive into:

-Why Eddie left his job and went to India to study yoga (3:31)

-How Eddie met his yoga teacher and the lessons he learned (11:23)

-Scientific studies to support the benefits of yoga (17:17)

-What yoga is doing on a neurophysiological level (22:35

-The Polyvagal Theory and how the vagus nerve affects our brain chemistry (23:28)

-Neural exercises and how they promote self-regulation, resilience, and social connectedness (29:54)

-The purpose of yoga (44:56)

-The connection between consciousness and our biology (62:51)

-The Yoga and Science Conference (79:28)

-The Breathing App and resonance breathing (86:34)

-Learn more about Eddie and his work (96:12)

I redesigned the 00’s yoga pant with a ‘22 flare… I hope it was worth the wait. #fashion

health No Comments »

Shop the Crisscross Flared Legging https://bit.ly/3LrG6Mx

Sorry it took so long!!!

Back in January when we released gen 1 of the @popflexactive flared legging (or yoga pants for us millennials and beyond đŸ„Č) I didn’t expect them to sell out so fast! But instead of just remaking the same flares for you guys which would have taken about 3 months, I made the decision to redevelop this style again
which took nearly 9 months to arrive at gen 2.

Why?

When it comes to serving you guys, there’s things that can bring you immediate gratification, but then there’s things that are temporarily frustrating but 100% worth waiting for.

Look, I don’t believe in a life of not improving. Either for myself or my products. So here’s why you had to wait:

GEN 2 FLARED LEGGINGS

1. Added the crisscross waistband from our most viral legging to enhance your hourglass shape ✔

2. Added POCKETSSSSSS but also made them super sleek and nearly invisible ✔

3. Upgraded the fabric to ButterSmooth for a stretchier feel that is less prone to shrinkage! It fits like a hug and you can run in them without them falling down. They’re performance level flares.

Aaanndddd here’s what I kept from gen 1:

4. Anti-cameltoe front panel ✔

5. 3 different lengths! 29”, 31”, 34”✔

6. Squat proof✔

7. Flares BELOW the knee to help lengthen your leg✔

So, what do you think? Was it worth the wait?

♄Cassey

Ps: I’m 5’5” wearing size small 31” inseam! You can get the @popflexactive ✹Crisscross Hourglass Flared Leggings✹ right now!

Is running on concrete bad for your knees?

lifestyle No Comments »

Dana from Woodstock, NY asks: Is it bad for your knees to run seven days a week on the sidewalk? Dr. Arun Ramappa, Orthopaedic Surgeon, explains.
Video Rating: / 5

If you are a regular runner, no doubt someone at some point has said to you that running is bad for your knees. More than likely, it was a non-runner. But there is plenty of evidence to say that the benefits of running far outweigh the risks, and that includes the effect on your knees.

Running is certainly not for everyone, but it is one of the most popular exercise activities and has many associated health benefits. It is a simple, low cost form of exercise that requires little equipment other than a good quality pair of running shoes and appropriate clothing. It is time efficient, easily fitting into a busy schedule, and can be very liberating. Speak to an avid runner and they will likely tell you that life would not be worth living without it.

When people say that running is bad for your knees, they are generally referring to its potential role in the development of OA (osteoarthritis). Running is often considered a cause of knee OA, both by the public and some healthcare practitioners. For the keen runner, this might be a cause for concern. However, it might actually be the case that knee OA is more common in non-runners!

This video should not serve as a replacement for professional health or medical advice.
Always consult a health professional before starting a new exercise or fitness programme.
Please stop and consult a physiotherapist if these exercises cause you pain.

What Happens To Your Brain And Body When You Do Yoga Regularly

health No Comments »

Over 36 million Americans practice yoga. Studies show it can improve flexibility, which in turn can help treat and prevent back pain. Yoga has also been shown to lower inflammation, which is linked to serious issues like cardiovascular disease and cancer. Studies also suggest it might reduce stress by interfering with your brain’s ability to release stress hormones.

Following is a transcript of the video:

Over 36 million Americans practice yoga, which really can have profound health effects on your body and brain. Studies show yoga can improve flexibility, which in turn can prevent and treat back pain. Not to mention, it lowers inflammation in the body, which has been linked to serious issues like cardiovascular disease. And like other forms of exercise, yoga may reduce stress.

This year is the year that you start doing yoga, and I mean for real this time. You’re going to join the 36 million-plus Americans who have taken up this beautiful practice, connecting yourself with a millennia-old tradition and helping you flush out those nasty toxins, or, you know, probably not.

Before you grab a mat, here’s what yoga really does to your body and brain. First of all, yoga comes in many, many different styles, but generally speaking, it involves some amount of stretching and meditation. Now, despite what you may have read, there’s no scientific evidence to support the idea that yoga will flush out toxins from your colon or anywhere else. But that doesn’t mean these techniques can’t help your body in many other ways.

Take back pain for instance. An estimated 80% of Americans will suffer from back pain at one point in their lives. But one study found that after just six to 12 yoga sessions, participants reported significantly less pain in their lower back. That’s because certain yoga poses stretch out your hamstrings, which, when they’re too tight, can yank on your hip flexors and strain your lower back. But the more you practice yoga, the more flexible your hamstrings get.

For example, in a 2015 study, women practiced a type of hatha yoga, which involves positions like downward dog and triangle pose. They practiced 90 minutes each week for around 16 weeks straight. And by the last week, they could reach four centimeters closer to their toes than before thanks to those loose hamstrings. Now, if you’re also meditating during those yoga sessions, the flexibility might not be the only benefit. After seven to 16 weeks of meditative activities, participants in one study saw a huge drop in C-reactive proteins in their blood. Those proteins are linked to inflammation, which, when you’re overly stressed, can kick into overdrive. And over time, that inflammation may contribute to serious illnesses like cardiovascular disease and cancer. That’s where yoga’s meditative qualities can help.

Researchers suspect that yoga may reduce stress by interfering with the central nervous system’s ability to release stress hormones. Plus, studies show that meditation-focused types of yoga, like yoga asana, boost levels of feel-good hormones like oxytocin in the brain. Plus, yoga is an exercise, and exercise in and of itself is a stress reliever. In fact, the US Department of Health and Human Services recommends two and a half to five hours a week of light to moderate exercise.

That can include workouts like yoga, brisk walking, or swimming. And to be fair, any amount of regular exercise is most likely going to reduce anxiety, elevate mood, and improve sleep and self-esteem. So while yoga might have an edge in the flexibility department and mindfulness department, there are plenty of other activities you can try to get fit. But as long as it gets you moving and maybe gives you some new friends, why not give it a try?
