Episode 8: Stress Science

In this episode, Sophie and Jane take a deep dive into the science of stress, unpacking how our bodies are affected by the demands of modern life. Building on previous discussions about the vagus nerve and the autonomic nervous system, they explore how the fast-paced, always-on nature of the 24/7 world we live in is wiring us for chronic stress and burnout.

From the biological responses triggered by stress to the long-term impacts on our health, Sophie and Jane explain why we’re often stuck in fight-or-flight mode, constantly reacting to the pressures of modern life. But just as important as this stress response is the "rest and digest" or "tend and befriend" side of our nervous system, which is essential for balance and recovery. In this episode, they highlight how Yoga Therapy can help us reconnect with this calming, restorative side of the autonomic nervous system.

As they discuss ancient wisdom for modern lives, Sophie and Jane share practical tools from Yoga Therapy that can help regulate the nervous system, restore balance, and offer relief from the overwhelm of constant tension. If you’ve ever felt like stress is running the show, this episode offers science-backed insights and strategies for finding calm in the chaos.
