I’ve had this information before in college, but it’s so interesting to think of it in terms of a yoga practice. I always look for continuing education programs on brain chemistry (I love the psychoneuroimmunologists!) so this class was a treat for me. Thanks David!

I had a really hard time with the lesson. There was so much technical text that I found it hard to follow. Anatomy and the scientific side of the YTT is not something that I have any background in so it's all a new language to me. I feel that if there was more video to accompany the text it would be easier to understand the material. I also find that I am an auditory learner, so all the lessons until this one felt more supportive of that learning style. It would also be helpful if the suggested practices from this lesson were included in our yoga reflection journal (even if they are just listed as extra lessons).
