Module 3:  The Impact of Yoga on Our Mood, Biochemistry and Mental Health

In Module 3 we delve into the world of science, and find the links between modern physiology and yoga practice. Most scientists and researchers in the field of human performance agree that a healthy balance between stress and recovery needs to be achieved in order to sustain performance over the long-term and minimise risk of overload and burnout. This means that we need good quality sleep, as well as dedicated rest time – i.e. time spent in active relaxation. In this module we look at how the practice of yoga and it's influence on both the autonomic and somatic nervous systems can create physiological and emotional changes and the mechanisms of action reponsibe for this.

We'll also delve into the building blocks of our skeletal system and muscles, setting us up for a better understanding of anatomy and biomechanics as we move through the coming modules.
 
Part of teaching yoga in modern society is helping people to get that rest time. Below we look at how yoga effects the nervous system, and the neurotransmitters and hormones that it impacts.

Objectives:
Students will learn about the concept of homeostasis and how the integration of the whole is vital for optimal health and wellbeing. We will also touch on the concept of total health – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and how yoga plays a role in this.

Students will learn about the heart, vessels and blood and their role in delivering nutrients and oxygen through the body. They will also learn about the venous return system and how yoga impacts on circulation.
The respiratory system will be recapped with a focus on how pranayama effects our nervous system.
The nervous system will be introduced as being divided into the Central Nervous System and Peripheral nervous system with a brief understanding of the anatomy of the brain, spinal cord and nerves.
Students will explore in more detail the Somatic Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System (sympathetic and parasympathetic)

Students will learn about the immune system and its physiology including its connection with the gut and other systems.
Students will be introduced to the physiology of the skeletal system including being able to name the bones in the body.
Students will learn about the physiological make-up of muscles and fascia including the muscle contraction cycle, as well as the different types of muscle contractions.

Content:
• Homeostasis
• Circulatory System
• Respiratory System
• Nervous System
• Endocrine system
• Skeletal System
• Fascia including interstitium
• Muscles and how they move
