A flagship moment on this theme
"Your brain does not know the difference between the situation you're in and a situation you've practiced. So you're able in the moment, without anyone knowing what's going on, to sense into what you're experiencing and activate the sensations of wholeness that's unique to you."
The practical payoff of the whole episode: a practiced state of regulation is neurologically accessible under stress. The phrase 'without anyone knowing what's going on' makes it immediately useful for clinicians in high-stakes clinical or leadership moments.

Integrating Yoga into Therapy | Chris McDonald of the Podcast, Yoga in the Therapy Room
