Yoga Provides More Than Excercise

  Yoga, a philosophy originating in India thousands of years ago, serves to connect the mind, body, and breath through a series of movements and postures, designed to purify the body and provide the physical strength and stamina required for long periods of meditation. Today, though millions of Americans practice it, there are many misconceptions about yoga. Joining us to explore its many styles, levels and benefits is City Stories Media Co-Director Donna Covrett, who has been teaching yoga for 17 years, and Rachel Roberts, yoga instructor and owner of The Yoga Bar.

Maryanne Zeleznik is responsible for all news and public affairs programming at WVXU. She also hosts Morning Edition Monday through Friday.
