Whether you are taking a yoga class or hitting the weight room, any movement you make to increase your physical Well-being is an opportunity to channel your mind-body connection. While scientists have long understood that our emotions can affect our bodies, we are just now beginning to understand how emotions influence health and longevity.The brain and body are connected through neural pathways made up of neurotransmitters, hormones and chemicals. These pathways transmit signals between the body and the brain to control our everyday functions, from breathing, digestion and pain sensations to movement, thinking and feeling. Taking care of our physical health while also being mindful of the mind-body connection is important for our general Well-being!
