These regions of your brain light up when we move together.⁠ ⁠ During Yin practice, we activate the insula, a region connected to emotional regulation, interoception, and restorative awareness.⁠ ⁠ In Soul Flow, moving together stimulates the DLPFC, supplementary motor area, precentral gyrus, and fusiform gyrus, areas associated with performance, focus, and embodied agency.⁠ ⁠ This shows that intentional group movement can generate distinct physiological responses that support social bonding and emotional regulation.⁠ ⁠ Experience it for yourself...⁠ ⁠ | Yin Yoga |⁠ Tuesday Yin & Sound w/ @drnneka ⁠ Friday Breath & Yin w/ @serafinarose ⁠ Sunday Yin & Sound w/ @body.by.letty & @holistic.kiran ⁠ ⁠ | Soul Flow |⁠ Wednesday SoulFlow'68 w/ @rosiehall_rogue ⁠ Thursday Soul Flow w/ @lotte_b00m ⁠ Sunday Soul Flow w/ @harley.stylist ⁠ ⁠ Join the anti-studio now.

Episode 2 | Exploring Yoga on the Brain ⁠ ⁠ In what ways do you feel yoga impacts your brain and body?⁠ ⁠ Dr. Julia Basso explores how movement, specifically Yin and SoulFlow yoga, affects the brain, when paired with music.⁠ ⁠ Using EEG (electroencephalography) technology, she measures neural activity in response to Yin and SoulFlow. ⁠ ⁠ Results drop tomorrow...⁠ keep an eye out⁠ ⁠ ⁠#5YearsofRebellion #TheRogueRoom #YogaScience ⁠

When was the last time you experienced flowstate?⁠ ⁠ Meet Dr Julia Basso, science advisor for The Rogue Room, professor at Virginia Tech, and director of the Embodied Brain Lab.⁠ ⁠ Over the next few weeks, we’ll dive into The Rogue Room’s experience on the brain with Dr Julia Basso , starting with Episode One: Exploring Flowstate ⁠ Flow is the psychological state of being in the present moment. ⁠ ⁠ In a world dominated by social media and constant distractions, our daily experiences are often reduced to quick, mindless tasks that demand little attention. ⁠ ⁠ Finding ways to tap into flow has never been more important.⁠ ⁠ Sound and frequency can be a gateway to this state. Intentional rhythms and beats, including Binaural, Alpha, and Beta waves, resonate with the brain and guide you toward a state of flow.⁠ ⁠ Stay tuned for the next episode of 5 Years of Rebellion: Exploring Flowstate with Dr Julia Basso⁠.⁠ ⁠ ⁠#5Years #5YearsofRebellion #Flowstate #ElectronicMusic ⁠
