In this segment, Dallas Bragg explains that relapse into old habits often occurs subconsciously and can develop over weeks, forming a persistent pattern he refers to as a 'vasana.' To break these automatic cycles, he recommends deliberately altering everyday actions—such as getting out of bed on the opposite side, eating with the left hand, or walking backwards—to keep the subconscious uncertain and regain control. He further emphasizes yoga’s effectiveness because it forces the body to move in unfamiliar ways, thereby reprogramming the subconscious and supporting habit change.

So I suggest to my clients, like, you will fall back into relapse patterns subconsciously all the time. And a relapse will start weeks sometimes. It's all one big pattern, one big vasana, you know, and that, and you will fall into that very easily. So I suggest doing things like getting out of the bed on the other side, eating, trying to eat with your left hand. Mm-hmm. Walking backwards, you know, or whatever, something to interrupt the normal pattern because it leaves your subconscious guessing, like, what's next? We haven't done this before. And that puts you in charge of your subconscious at that point. Yep. And you know what? And that's why yoga is so good because you're forcing your body to move in ways that you don't naturally move. Yeah. Right.
