So thrilled to have Daya Grant join me again on the podcast this week! You may remember Daya from episode 258 (This is Your Brain on Yoga). In her role as a mental performance coach, Daya utilizes tools from her background as a neuroscientist, athlete, and yogi. On this episode, Daya shares some of the fascinating research that shares in her online course, Mind-Flow Masterclass. She shares:
- Which mental performance tools she used to finish a half marathon (less than a year after giving birth to her second child!)
- How exercise upregulates BDNF and the ways this is beneficial for the brain
- How exercising during high stress times can mediate our stress response and create more resilience for our future self
- How mantra and dristhi have been studied and shown to help settle the mind
- The neuroscience of flow states and the four stages of flow
- Samadhi -- Daya and I have a similar interpretation on this for householders
