Did you miss our practice last week with Embody's founder Dana Christian Lee? Do it now: Root Down. Rise Up

Hello beautiful humans,

March is traumatic brain injury (TBI) awareness month. We are excited to once again be partnered with Love Your Brain to help bring more education & action to supporting those who have suffered TBI's while also to encourage personal care for brain health. We will be practicing meditations and yoga poses that help restore & heal the brain.

Over the rest of March we will explore the power and critical importance our brains, learn yoga & mindfulness practices to support and grow our brain capacity while helping those who have had TBI's get access to yoga's healing tools through not only our work, but also to Love Your Own Brain.

7 Facts About the Brain

Our brains are a miracle! Here's 7 facts you might now know about the brain as laid out by brain guru Jim Kwik:

1. Your Brain Functions Are Equal to Billions of Micro-Computers

The brain's neurons range from 86 billion to 100 billion. Neurons transmit nerve impulses throughout the brain. That's like having 86 billion computers in your brain supporting you in every moment of life. It is incredible.

2. Your Brain Makes Neurons in Every Moment

Our brains never stop making brain cells as long as we are alive.

3. Our Brains are in a Constant Case of Programming & Reprogramming

Our brain is a complicated network of neurons connected to synapses that fire & wire to perform tasks and functions. All neurons are connected and bring both hemispheres of brain together when necessary to make associations easier & quicker.

4. Your Brain Needs a Huge Amount of Energy

The brain represents only 2% of the body weight of an adult and consumes 20% of the energy produced by the body.

5. Your Brain Does Not like Going on Diets

For your brain to work at its full potential, eat well. Your brain needs nutrition or it will eat the other brain cells. Best brain foods: avocado, coconut oil, blueberries, broccoli, eggs, leafy greens, fish, turmeric, walnuts and dark chocolate.

6. Each region of the Brain is Specialized and Versatile at The Same Time

Each region of the brain has some specific functions. Most functions require collaboration between different brain regions. This helps the patients with brain damages to compensate part of the lost functions. When a region gets damaged, other regions take over its functions.

7. Your Brain Wears a Watch

When you learn a new skill especially if this skill is intense or complicated, it takes a longer time to comprehend it. Stay with it.
