Are you nervous? Ashtanga yoga cleanses the nervous system (2nd edition 10 years later)

It’s good to be proactive and cleanse your nervous system. Ashtanga yoga is one way to do this. I have proof.

I’ve practiced all kinds of yoga through three decades—various methods such as Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Yin—to increase strength and flexibility, to lower stress, and to gain mental and spiritual clarity. I’ve also done it at times just to get out of the house; to soothe an unknown entity rising up inside me, I transported myself to yoga class at the soonest possible opportunity because I had to.
