“The Nervous System is the most complex and delicate of all the body systems.” www.gobodhiyoga.com This is the electrical system of the body which keeps everything else running. Hormones wouldn’t secrete, blood wouldn’t flow, toxins wouldn’t eliminate, heart wouldn’t beat as well as many other normal functions of the body.
The Central Nervous System includes the brain and the spinal column. The Peripheral Nervous System includes the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic subdivisions. The sympathetic prepares the body for fight or flight. The parasympathetic returns the body functions to normal after they have been altered by the sympathetic.
It is pretty easy to see that the nervous system is far too complex to explain in a few sentences. The real point here is that yoga provides tonification for both Para and Sympathetic nervous systems as it heightens awareness and relaxes the mind at the same time. Under stressful situations the brain has a greater ability to focus. Yoga brings out the best in us in all situations and doing yoga simply feels good. Yes, do yoga.
