What is coherence?

Personal coherence is when the body's physical, mental, and emotional systems are all working in sync, which can be measured by patterns in heart rhythm. The more balanced the heart rhythm patterns, the more coherent the person is.
When a person is in a Coherent State, almost no energy is wasted because all of the body's systems are aligned.

Some benefits of personal coherence are: 

  • Increased composure
  • More energy
  • Clear thinking
  • Enhanced immune system function hormone balance
Changing the structure and function of the brain by one’s own hand.
Training the entire nervous system to return to normal functioning after stress. 

YFFR training can change brain matter. When trained and practiced consistently, yoga and meditation can change the brain. This is called neuroplasticity, which means:
"Based on the relatively scarce but expanding neuroimaging evidence of yoga practice in predominantly healthy subjects, it has been shown that yoga has both a structural and functional effect on brain areas involved in interoception, posture, motivation, and higher executive functions. Overall, most consistent structural effects were observed in the hippocampus and insular cortex, while functional studies showed mainly increases in frontal executive and attention areas."
