You're listening to the human upgrade with Dave Asprey.

Formerly, Bulletproof Radio. Hi. Asbury. We're going to talk about Yoga Idra today with an experienced yoga

teacher and author with 20 years of experience. Her name is Tracy Stanley.

Tracy, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much, Dave, for having me. I'm happy to be here.

You came to my attention because I've had a pretty deep yoga practice for a good number of years.

I'm not super active in yoga right now, but I think it still benefits me.

I learned a lot of my initial breath work stuff there and I can still do

yoga poses that most people can't because it gets built into your body and maybe I'll do more I don't know and I came across the radiant rest book which is which is so important a lot of

biohacking isn't about pushing harder you You see all these like, you know, these

bros frankly like you gotta you gotta lift more and actually know whether you're

a man or woman quite often you're over training you're pushing really hard and

you're never recovering and the body goes you know push hard recover

and so when you write a book about recovery it's harder to get people's attention because it's not as sexy to say,

well, you need to chill versus like, let's go.

What made you write a book about rest?

That's a great question. So much like you, I've also noticed that people don't want to slow down and they want to do more and they feel like in order to be productive they have to do more they

have to be in the grind they can't fall behind so I started noticing all of these different messages that we kind of get from our culture around

Keep it going or you're going to fall behind and what I remembered was that when I was a

film producer years ago I was a Hollywood film producer and I was making big action movies and everyone would always ask me,

how do you stay so rested?

How do you stay so calm?
