Yoga Podcast 40: Eddie Stern Returns

If you want to feel better, healthier, be more resilient and clear, Eddie Stern, says the answer is quite simple: Yoga. In a world more and more divided, yoga may be one those rare and special subjects where we all agree – practicing yoga makes us feel good. And in today's episode as well as in his new book, One Simple Thing: A New Look at the Science of Yoga and How it Can Transform Your Life (due out March, 2019), Eddie combines his own experience with philosophy and science to explain why this one simple thing makes us all so happy.  But that's not all we talk about ... Eddie also gives a rather impassioned explanation how the word, method, is often misused as a substitution for practice. Or the word, modifications, for options. Turns out Eddie isn't just a yogi and science geek - he's also a bit of a wordsmith as well.  And finally, Eddie answers your questions about practicing as we get older - and as he's gotten older.  The Ashtanga Dispatch podcast is edited and hosted by me Peg Mulqueen along with Meghan Powell.
