Neurotransmitters are the body’s chemical messengers. They are the molecules carried by the nervous system to transmit messages between neurons or from neurons to muscles.
Gaba is a naturally occurring amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter in your brain. Increased during yoga, Gamo-Amino Acid (gaba) counteracts anxiety and stress symptoms, leading to more relaxation.
Dopamine is regulated during yoga. Dopamine, also made in the gut, provides the focus and drive you need to complete your tasks in the most efficient way. This hormone is primarily involved with attention span, focus, and motivation. A lack of dopamine can lead to addiction and attention deficit.
Norepinephrine is reduced during yoga. Norepinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is responsible for the body’s “fight or flight” response. Yoga decreases this stress hormone.
I was put on disability at 27 … The ball and joint of my knees look like a sharks tooth, with no cartridge in-between or behind my knee cap … Any suggestions … I’m 38 now and was told I’d be in a wheelchair by the time I’m 40

Make them wrong by staying active and keeping your mind clear of negative information. Do listen to your medical professionals regarding proactive treatments like surgery and physical therapy.
