Summary
In this episode of Deepen Your Yoga Practice, Lauren Leduc explores two often-overlooked senses that transform yoga from movement into embodiment: interoception and proprioception. Interoception is your ability to sense what’s happening inside your body — breath, heartbeat, hunger, emotional sensations, effort versus strain. Proprioception is your ability to sense where your body is in space — balance, alignment, movement, orientation. Lauren breaks down: The neuroscience of interoception (insula, emotional awareness, nervous system regulation) How proprioceptors in muscles, fascia, and joints act as your body’s internal GPS Why trauma, stress, and digital overload can disrupt these senses How yoga retrains embodied awareness Why these skills matter for safety, longevity, emotional regulation, and aging well Practical ways to build interoception and proprioception on and off the mat Teaching tips for cueing sensation over shape This episode invites you to pause and ask two simple but profound questions: How do I feel? Where am I? Because yoga is not just about movement. It’s about awareness.
