body science

​In the modern world, trusting science is up for debate. Maybe because it is not uncommon for the pain management doctor to use the science of drugs until the science of surgery is required, and neither actually works to take your pain away.
Science knows only 5% of spine surgeries work, so yeah, who’d want to take that bet if they believed there was another way?
Exercise is a science too, but a lot of exercise methods choose an idiotic ‘no pain no gain’ philosophy of self abuse, that might give you rock hard abs, but still doesn’t eliminate your back pain.

Gravity is the science that keeps you from floating off planet; they teach you that in grade school. It’s also the science that crushes your bones if you don’t resist it, and maybe they didn’t teach you that.
​Homeostasis is the science of your amazing body’s constant effort to be healthy, and you might not have learned that either, because so much of it is happening deep inside without you needing to think about it.
Life without back pain (or hip, knee, neck, and shoulder pain) requires you to think about it. You must think to seek muscular skeletal homeostasis, by resisting gravity and moving without unnecessary force.
That, my dears, is the whole point of The Yoga You Need, and yes, it’s a science.
