Lesson

Instructions

For thousands of years, yoga has been a path to re-orienting our relationship to body, mind, and spirit, opening ourselves to transformation. At its essence, yoga involves grappling with our perceived limits and transcending them through a shift in consciousness. Dr. Sudha Prathikanti and Dr. Priya Jain discuss yoga's psychophysical approach to self-understanding, and how it offers a creative way to discover, grow and awaken to new possibilities as we meet the challenges of modern living.
