Medical doctor Pedram Shojai on the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous system and ‘Fight Flight’: “… you can only be in one or the other really – it’s either an on or off switch…. When you’re in rest and digest that’s when healing happens. That’s when the body systems start taking care of themselves. And that’s why something so simple sounding as heart-rate variability training or some of the relaxation techniques that are out there work so well. That’s the small hinge that swings those big doors.” Savasana (and all Restorative Yoga practice) is just one of those simple sounding techniques you can practice to help yourself. #365Savasana Dr Pedram and Dr Sara Gottfried’s full conversation on hormones and the connection between cortisol, stress and more makes interesting viewing – check out their Health Bridge podcast here: https://youtube/watch?v=7VJMCdYcMhU
