How do practices like yoga, meditation, breathwork, and Reiki help us navigate the stress we experience in our daily lives?
In this episode of The Human Community, Toria sits down with Dr. Sarah Cavrak, a cognitive scientist, yoga and meditation instructor, and Reiki Master. For more than 25 years, Sarah has explored human cognition, behavior, and spirituality through both psychological and yogic lenses, bringing a unique perspective to the conversation.
Together, they explore our relationship with stress, its impact on the body, the nervous system, the vagus nerve, and the parasympathetic response. They discuss how ancient practices such as yoga, meditation, breathwork, and Reiki help support the way we care for ourselves in an increasingly demanding world.
If you are feeling burned out or wonder how stress affects our mind and body, Dr. Cavrak shares simple practices that can be incorporated into your daily life to support a greater sense of calm and balance.
