{"product_id":"2940152621372","title":"Yoga \u0026 Progressive Relaxation Response","description":"\u003cp\u003eModern neuroscience and neuropsychology research shows not only that multitasking is actually harming\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eour brain and our performance but in reality, non-doing is a lot of times the most effective and efficient\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eform of action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAction does not take place unless we have created space for it, whether that be physical, mental or\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eemotional. The only way to create space is by stopping. Stopping whatever it is that we are consumed in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edoing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow many times have you found your keys or something else you misplaced, after you stopped looking for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eit?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow many times have you remembered the name of a song, or a place after you stopped trying to recall it?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow many times have you had an inspiring idea after “wasting time” during a small-talk with a friend?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJosh Davis, Ph.D. Director of Research and Lead Professor for the NeuroLeadership Institute says:  “Let\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eyour mind wander for a few minutes and then come back to it. That's something that often is a little counter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eintuitive for people but it's something that probably everyone will have done at some point in their life and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecan recognize…. That has psychological benefits that are very hard to get otherwise. Some of the things\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat happen when our minds wander is that we integrate certain neural networks that are involved in what\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewe call executive functions or which have to do with things like staying focused on a goal and holding\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eideas in mind…\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Herbert Benson, Cardiologist and Professor of Mind Body Medicine at the Harvard Medical\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchool.states: “Stress does not cause pain, but it can exacerbate it and make it worse. Much of chronic pain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eis 'remembered' pain. It's the constant firing of brain cells leading to a memory of pain that lasts, even\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethough the bodily symptoms causing the pain are no longer there. The pain is residing because of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eneurological connections in the brain itself.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe believe that savasana (aka shavasana), the infamous corpse pose of yoga, offers all of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eaforementioned benefits, if performed properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Yoga \u0026amp; Progressive Relaxation Response\" explores all the forgotten why's and how's of savasana (corpse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epose) and teaches you how to incorporate it in any physical exercise session. No prior yoga knowledge or\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexperience is required or assumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Yoga \u0026amp; Progressive Relaxation Response\"  is written in such a way that it can be read cover to cover, and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ereadily implemented. If you are reading it as a practitioner, all you need is your mat. If you are reading it as\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea Teacher, all you need is at least one Student.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe start by establishing our definition of the savasana process so we are all on the same wavelength. We\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethen proceed through every step of the way, narrating the class as if you were present. We give warning of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esome common pitfalls and we reinforce good habits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the FAQ section we take the time to address the most common questions we have gotten through the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eyears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter reading this book, we guarantee that you will have all the tools you need to guide yourself and\/or\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eyour class through the most effective and efficient savasana part heavenly possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe always love to hear back from our readers on what the book’s biggest influence on them was.
