It also provides practical application of this knowledge both on and off the mat through guided practices.Section One contains three foundational chapters:How pain works – deepening roots of pain science knowledgeYoga – roots of yoga and how it pertains to painAnd this too – shifting perspectives through mindfulness practiceSection Two covers key topics such as physical aspects, emotions, sleep, and more, and how these relate to pain. Each chapter has three sub-sections:1. Head space – a review of the pain neuroscience and yoga research2. Out of the head and onto the mat – translates information from Head space into an experiential practice on the yoga mat.3.
