If you’ve ever been told to “just calm down”, or felt pressure to be constantly relaxed to support your nervous system, this episode is for you. In this honest, practical conversation, we break down what your nervous system actually is, how stress really works (yes, including cortisol), why “being calm” is NOT the goal, and what regulation looks like in real life for yoga teachers and students. We cover: Why the nervous system is more than a buzzword Cortisol, stress, and why your body adapts (even when you don’t notice) What it feels like to move with your nervous system in mind How to support your students’ nervous systems in class Why tiny daily actions (not perfection) make the biggest change What we’ve personally learned about burnout, busy seasons, and rest Whether you’re a yoga teacher or a student, this episode gives you practical, realistic tools to support your nervous system, without needing an hour a day, a perfect routine, or a “calm girl era.” Join for $1 for 30 days of Heart + Bones Online Yoga Studio, use code PODCASTMONTH Start Here: https://heartandbonesyoga.com/membership/ Your nervous system will thank you.
