Season 10: The 8 Limbs of Yoga and the Regulated Nervous System

In the upcoming season of The Yoga Therapy Hour, Amy turns her attention to a powerful convergence of ancient insight and modern therapeutic science. Season 10 brings together distinguished guests who have devoted their work to understanding Patañjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga and their relationship to nervous system regulation, human connection, and sustainable well-being.

Across this season, listeners will explore how the Eight Limbs serve as a practical roadmap for:

• co-regulation and healthy relationships

• self-care practices that support resilience

• interoceptive awareness and embodied presence

• breath regulation techniques that influence autonomic function

• concentration practices that settle the mind

• meditation processes that clarify perception

• complete absorption and flow states that integrate body, mind, and spirit

Rather than viewing yoga as a philosophy that sits apart from daily life, each episode demonstrates how the Eight Limbs can support the nervous system, enhance emotional intelligence, and steady attention. The conversations reflect Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra as a living text—one that informs clinical practice, personal evolution, and how we relate to ourselves and others.

Season 10 sets the stage for the Spring 2026 release of Applications of Therapeutic Yoga in Integrative Health, the groundbreaking new book by Amy Wheeler and Marlysa Sullivan, published by Routledge Press. Each episode highlights themes from the book, offering listeners a preview of the principles, research, and therapeutic frameworks that will shape the future of yoga therapy in healthcare.

This season is an invitation to study, apply, and embody yoga in ways that are both timeless and relevant to the needs of the world today.
