Despite what some may assume, many witchy and wellness folks care about science. More should because science can provide a lot of context to one\u2019s everyday life. A fantastic example is \u201cThe Neuroscience of Yoga and Meditation\u201d by Brittany Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t help but proclaim that this book has it all. The first chapter is a wonderful introduction to how scientific research works. Here is some of the most useful reading anyone can consume, common research methodologies and study design. Readers learn about perspectives and editorials, case studies, cohort studies, randomized control studies, reviews, quantitative and qualitive methods, causation and correlation, the importance of sample size, and how to dissect a research study. This should be required reading for ANYONE before they decide to share studies on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there the author, who regales readers with an entertaining story of taking a lamb\u2019s brain to the first yoga workshop she taught, teaches you how your brain effects your experiences and how yoga and meditation can effect your brain. Fair gives you an introduction to your nervous system, spinal cord, and even your five senses, all to help the reader understand what yoga can and cannot do and utilizes the latest research to help you get the most out of your practice. There are also example poses, routines, and styles of meditation, and some tips for instructors on making their classes more accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, I don\u2019t have the space or vocabulary to express what a wonderful resource \u201cThe Neuroscience of Yoga and Meditation\u201d is for the at home yoga\/meditator or for the professional instructor. If you find yourself interested in these subjects, it is a book you will to for insight again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
