Listen Later

"When you realize anatomy is a limitation, it becomes a liberation." We have invited Brett Larkin onto The Optimal Body Podcast to discuss her evolution with the Yoga practice and to share what Yoga means for her. From setting the path with how she started Yoga, she speaks about how the principles of Yoga apply to everyday life and uses the history of Yoga to explain what Yoga intended to be and how it can be defined for you. Finally, we dive into Anatomy and what it means to advance a Yoga practice. By yielding together the science and yogic principles, Brett shares what it means to strike a balance between ego and presence whilst stretching and practising. Let's take a sneak peek into her new book - Yoga Life- in this podcast!
