  • Summary

  • When we hear the word "Yoga" - for most people who do not reside in certain parts of Asia - it conjures up a class, a teacher in a room of bodies, in workout gear, getting "fit" and/or "limber" using a series of poses, with a few foreign sounding words and some flirtation with the spiritual - usually at the end - before all present say "namaste" and go about their day. This understanding comes, largely, from the commercialization of Yoga in the United States as a fitness routine, which can now be found in gyms and studios across the globe.

    This, however, is a limited view of what Yoga is. The physical asana (those same poses) are a part of a broader canvas - a rich system of health, wellness, wellbeing, and ultimately enlightenment - that has been in use and development for over 5,000 years. In this episode Steven Ross and Matthew Choate band together - and explore the incredible tapestry of Yoga through their personal experiences and academic explorations. Come learn about the living system of Yoga - and how it's influenced by each one of us who adopt and live into it.
