What really happens when we experience touch? How does your nervous system take something as simple as pressure on your skin and turn it into safety, movement, or even emotion?In this solo episode, Celest takes you on a fascinating journey through the science of touch. From the receptors in your skin to the speed of nerve fibres, the mapping of the spinal cord, and the emotional processing of the insula, she unpacks how your body translates sensation into meaning.You’ll discover:Why sensation is essential for safety and movementThe role of different receptors in the skin (pressure, vibration, stretch and more)How your peripheral nerves send signals at lightning or slower speeds, each with a unique purposeWhy the parasympathetic system should really be called "repair and digest"How touch links not just to the body, but also to emotion and social connectionThis episode blends anatomy, neuroscience and practical insight to remind us just how magical and adaptable our nervous system really is.About Alba Yoga Academy⁠⁠Learn more with Alba Yoga Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about our Yoga Teacher Training here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch our extensive library of YouTube videos.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Hannah on Instagram.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Celest on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
