Episode Description from the Publisher

In this Viniyoga podcast, Chase Bossart and Pam Hardy discuss their personal journeys through cancer with the aid of their yoga practices. The intersection of meditation, breath-centered yoga, mind body connection, and yoga philosophy come through in their conversation including topics of self-knowing translating into personal advocacy, the foundation of clarity in decision making, yoga providing an openness so things can move, addressing fear of death and grief, the body as a manifestation of identity and qualities, and textural references to Yogasūtra I.29 & 30, Yogasūtra III.13, and the Sāṁkhya Kārikā.

As breathing is increasingly recognized as an important part of human physiology by western therapeutics, Chase Bossart, Yoga Well's Executive Director, clarifies the foundational physiological understanding of yoga and how this relates to prāṇāyāma practices including concepts, applications, and tools in our upcoming program, Advanced Viniyoga Applications: Prāṇāyāma - Breathing in Viniyoga.
