Yoga and nervous system

Συχνά ακόυω την εξής ερώτηση: "τι ακριβώς συμβαίνει και κατά τη διάρκεια
 του μαθήματος γιόγκα  ηρεμώ?". Η παρακάτω ιστοσελίδα μας δίνει την
απάντηση, βασισμένη στη λειτουργία του Παρασυμπαθητικού και
Συμπαθητικού νευρικού μας συστήματος.

Επίσης, εξαιρετικά ενδιαφέρον ...μια σκέψη σχετικά με την νευροπλαστική...
άρα αν θέλετε να νιώσετε "καινούργιοι" μη σταματάτε να κάνετε γιόγκα...

"....I believe some of yoga's most profound effects on health have to do with
its ability to alter long-standing dysfunctional behavior. People often have
 unhealthy habits of thought and deed that undermine their health—habits
they may recognize but haven't been able to change. In addition to the direct
 health benefits of asana, pranayama, meditation, and other yoga practices,
it's not uncommon for regular practitioners to start eating better, to cut back
 on caffeine or alcohol, to quit jobs with unreasonable demands, or to spend
 more time in nature. Once people become more sensitive to the effects of
different actions on their bodies and minds (whether it is practicing
alternate nostril breathing or eating huge, fatty meals), they increasingly
 want to do what makes them feel better.

The modern understanding of the brain is that rather than being a static
structure (which is what I was taught in medical school), this organ is
constantly remodeling itself, a phenomenon scientists call neuroplasticity.
Repeated thoughts and actions can rewire your brain, and the more you do
 something, the stronger those new neural networks become.
Almost 2,000 years ago, Patanjali was onto this when he suggested that
the key to success in yoga is dedicated, uninterrupted practice over a long
 period of time. The resulting neural networks— or samskaras, as yogis call them
-get stronger and stronger as you stay with the practice. Slowly but surely,
these healthy grooves of thought and action help guide people out of the ruts
 in which they've been stuck.
