单集简介 ...

We often think of yoga as a physical exercise - but a centuries-old Sanskrit text, The Yoga Sutras, share teachings intended to improve both the body and mind. The author, Patanjali, makes clear that the poses and stretches are only part of picture - we also need to be kind, contemplative and grounded.   Jessamyn Stanley (yoga teacher and author of Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance) takes Dr Laurie Santos through Patanjali's text - saying its lessons "can be applied in every circumstance, no matter who you are or where you are".

  • What is going on?

  • And she was like, oh my god, you should come to yoga.

  • You're going to love it.

  • And I was like, I am not doing that.

  • Jessamine had tried yoga once before in high school, and she absolutely hated it.

  • But her friend wasn't going to take no for an answer and knew just how to make the case.

  • She appealed to Jessamine's appetite for a bargain.

  • And she got me caught up on a Groupon, though.

  • She was like, what's the worst thing that can happen?

  • You go one time, you paid $30 for this pass.

  • Like, what's the worst that can happen?
