If you’re an Uplifted alumni you’ll recognize today’s guest from inside the training…Kristin Leal!! 🎉I could talk to Kristin about anatomy and the nervous system for hours, and I’m so excited that she came on the podcast to enlighten us all with her vast knowledge. Kristin is going to delve into the complexities of the nervous system, particularly focusing on the autonomic nervous system and its two branches: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. She’ll discuss the complexities of the human stress response and the importance of understanding these systems in the context of yoga to help regulate your nervous system.

Get your notebook ready and learn:

🔹How the nervous system is interconnected with all bodily systems.

🔹What Vagal tone is and how it’s an important indicator of overall health and well-being.

🔹The way burnout manifests as inactivity or excessive rest without true recovery.
