The context and tools provided through yoga philosophy affect how we perceive, understand, respond, and make meaningful change in our lives. Join Chase Bossart, the Executive Director of the Yoga Well Institute, and Yoga Therapist Cathy Christoff for a conversation about how practice and study serve as containers that support life's changes.

There are benefits to both Western Allopathic and Indian Yogic understandings of the body and its systems. However, it is extremely important to understand the core differences in the approach of each perspective to the body. During May's Yoga Well Discussion Hour, Chase Bossart explains what is different about each approach, why this matters to how they are applied, and most importantly, why understanding the Yogic perspective matters.
