Yoga: More Than Meets the Mat (Ep 35)

Yoga can feel mysterious and intimidating to some, while for others, it’s a cornerstone of daily life. With over 5,000 years of history and modern science supporting its benefits, yoga offers profound advantages for physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being. In this episode, Dr. Parker Hays interviews our in-house expert, Dr. Laura Hays - a physician, yoga teacher, and practitioner with nearly 30 years of experience. Together, they explore yoga’s rich history, the eight limbs of the practice, and common misconceptions. Laura shares insights into yoga’s wide-ranging benefits, from improving fitness and managing chronic conditions to enhancing mental focus and fostering a deeper mind-body connection. Whether you’re a curious beginner or looking to deepen your practice, you’ll learn how yoga can complement your pursuits in the gym, at work, and in life.
