So hello and welcome everyone this is Lucas Rockwood with yoga body

naturals and welcome to our yoga body tele Series. Today's class is called The Nervous System

Secrets of Yoga with guest teacher Rolf Petchukas and Rolf is

originally from Brooklyn in New York, but he currently lives and teaches

yoga in Boston.

So one of Rolf specialties is the physiology of emotional dysfunction, which could be something as common as

stress or anxiety like a lot of us have or something as debilitating as clinical

depression or paranoia so one thing that I've always found very frustrating about yoga and the yoga community in general is that people often refer to the science of yoga, but there's almost no science ever really explored or investigated. A lot of it's just, you know,

said yoga teachers they tend to kind of default back to myth or folklore rather

than science in the study and I think the science and study is very interesting.

So, you know, for sure there's value in both approaches,

but I find that science-based studies, what really helps people give meaning and trust to their practices.

So I'm really excited to dig deep into this topic of nervous system health and yoga. So

Rolfe, thanks so much for joining us today. Yeah, thanks Lucas. Yeah, and I

totally agree. I mean for me the science, I have a background in science and the science of

yoga is is what makes me trust it more you know when I first started studying
