Is your yoga class actually "nervous system supportive," or is it just slow? In this episode, Brea and Ula chat about what it really means to support the nervous system when teaching actual humans in real classes. We move beyond the "everything should be chill" marketing myth and explore how proprioception, interoception, and even intensity play a role in building true resilience.
In this episode, we discuss:
The "Nervous System" Zeitgeist: Why every yoga class is technically a nervous system class.
Proprioception vs. Interoception: Understanding how we sense our bodies from the inside out.
The Anxiety of "Calming" Cues: How rigid breathing counts can actually trigger a stress response.
The Social Nervous System: Creating a safe container where students feel seen and supported.
Building Capacity: Why challenging poses like balance and chair pose are vital for nervous system resilience.
