“I engaged - started engaging in yoga as a physical practice, but very quickly found out there was something broader to it, and that it was actually helpful for my pain, and started to get into meditation, started to study the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita and a lot of the scriptures associated with yoga, the Yoga Sutras, and very quickly came to this conclusion that this had a huge impact on my ability to lead, but, more importantly, the ability to control my sympathetic nervous system, which had a direct tie to the pain in my arm.” PainFoundAbilityPracticeStudyMeditationHugeArmsYogaDirectImpactScriptureConclusionNervousTiesEngagedHelpfulEngagingSympatheticNervous SystemGitaYoga Sutra Author:Mark T Bertolini
