Explore the true origins of yoga, its evolution from ancient practices to modern fitness trends, and the misconceptions surrounding its history and benefits. Once again I have the pleasure to welcome Brian Friedman to the show, co-owner of Redefined Yoga! Maybe this episode challenges myths and offers a fresh perspective on yoga's purpose and practice. This won’t take away from yoga's benefits and/or your personal practice, but just set some things straight ;)
