Beyond The Pose is a book published by Rewire Hub. I was humbly invited to write for the 3rd segment of this book to join teachers and practitioners sharing their views and experience of the topic.

The effort of Beyond the Pose is to capture from both a yogic and scientific perspective how the workings of the nervous system enable the effects of yoga and how the body mechanics of yoga can create profound positive changes in our lives. How is it possible that people experiencing so different types of problems from hypertension to poor digestion to back pain all walk out of a yoga class feeling better about themselves and the symptoms of their respective conditions? How is it possible that the same practice can reduce stress, alleviate physical pain, improve sleep, reduce anger, improve digestion, reduce the needed diabetes medication, improve cardiovascular function, and create a sense of overall higher happiness?

In part one, we review the ancient roots of yoga so we are reminded that its purpose, in spite of what Instagram suggests, is not about the perfection of postures but about the body-mind-spirit relationship, about getting in touch with our nature and the marvelous mysteries of being. In part two, based on the research of scientists of the likes of Dr. Bethany Kok, Dr. Stephen Porges, and Dr. Shirley Telles, we explore how yoga affects and regulates the nervous system and the neurobiological mechanisms underlying certain yogic ideas and practices. In part three, yoga and mindfulness teachers and practitioners have shared stories about their own path to yoga, misconceptions about the discipline, the pressing questions of their students, and how yoga revolutionized their lives and helped them heal.
