3: The Nervous System Explained - Why You’re Not Meant to Be Regulated All the Time

Update: 2025-06-13

Description

In this week’s podcast, I break down how the nervous system really works, and explore:

👉 The 4 Survival States — Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn

👉 Why Humans Get Traumatized?

👉 The myth of “staying calm” vs. the truth of nervous system flexibility

👉 The Role of the Vagus Nerve - Polyvagal Theory

👉 What This All Has to Do with Yin Yoga

Whether you’re a yoga teacher, a yoga practitioner, or simply someone on a healing journey, understanding your nervous system will change the way you relate to your body, your emotions, and your everyday life.
