Science, Myth, Anatomy, Fascia & Yin Yoga

Tune in here for a conversation between Mark and Bernie Clark on science, myth, anatomy, fascia and yin yoga. Highlights of the conversation include:

• Mark's 5-minute teaser, setting the table for thinking about science and myth.
• Bernie Clark's yoga journey to Yin Yoga.
• The contrast between the yoga of outer appearance and the yoga of inner experience, what Bernie calls functional yoga.
• How teachers and students engage in a dance around forms, feelings, and intentions in yoga practice.
• The development of new ideas about human anatomy, alternative "maps" in describing and understanding the body, and the proposal that a "fascial system" can be a useful map in practicing yoga.
• How new ideas can lead to new paradigms of knowledge or contribute to pseudoscientific distortions.
• How myth can inform and guide us along our various paths on and off the mat.
• Yin, yang, and diversity of human beings and beneficial practices.
