Today hosts Tiffany and Katja continue the discussion on fascia and more specifically how our fascia is connected to the autonomic nervous system. This relationship reminds us that movement has a profound effect on our minds and emotions and that the inverse is also true. In this discussion, Tiffany and Katja explain different pathways how the fascial system is related to the autonomic nervous system. They share more reasons to incorporate some myofascial release work into our yoga practice and elaborate why working with the abdomen can have a powerful effect on the whole autonomic nervous system. They also discuss how stress may relate to low back pain and how the fascia may be influenced by major depressive disorder.

Listen in to learn about the relationship between fascia and the autonomic nervous system, why myofascial release is so valuable, and ways to engage your autonomic nervous system through yoga.

"The thoracolumbar fascia is a really potent source that we can tap into which could explain a lot of generalized non-specific, more chronic lower back pain." - Tiffany Cruikshank.

Mind blown... I have an unknown connective tissue disorder, at 39 I feel better than I did at 9 because of MFR. You're telling me why.

I've never heard that Yoga. Practitioners could work on people's tissue. Don't you need a license to do that?
