48. Unlocking Yoga's Science: Andrew McGonigle on the physiological benefits of yoga

48. Unlocking Yoga's Science: Andrew McGonigle on Myth-Busting, Nervous System Regulation, and why Bone Density Mis-Information can be Dangerous. Ever wondered what yoga can do for YOU? Even if you feel super inflexible and, quite frankly, awkward when attempting yoga poses? In this episode, we're joined by Andrew McGonigle, a medically trained doctor turned yoga anatomy expert, who challenges the common myths surrounding yoga and brings science to the forefront. He delves into the physiological impacts of yoga, particularly on the nervous system, and explains how simple breath awareness can lead to profound changes in our overall well-being. Andrew discusses the evidence showing that yoga's benefits go far beyond flexibility and physical strength. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just curious about starting, this conversation will encourage you to reflect on your own health practices and consider the deeper, evidence-based benefits of yoga. We discuss: Why being ‘uncomfortable’ is ok! The science that dispels common yoga myths, like “twisting poses detoxify the liver”. How yoga helps calm the nervous system, switching from stress ("fight or flight") to relaxation ("rest and digest"). How flexibility is a bonus, but yoga's practical benefits for daily activities are key. How yoga is a low injury-risk activity if approached mindfully and progressively. And more!
