Yoga Brain: Embodied

This month we discuss the effect of the body on the brain. Hannah Adams talks about the the breath and tuning into the body for postures such as handstand, and Catherine Tallon-Baudry the effect of the heart on the brain. Hannah Adams is an international yoga teacher and handstand enthusiast based in Boston. As a teacher, Hannah aims to facilitate her students’ gain of a greater somatic understanding of themselves, and a more refined sense of presence through the practice of movement and breath.
