In this episode, I sit down with Stephen Cope, author of the The Dharma in Difficult Times, and Sat Bir Singh Khalsa, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Stephen says that the genius of yoga in America right now lies in its ability to bring both psychology and neuroscience to yoga practice, and he believes that Sat Bir is at the forefront of this work. This conversation is about how science and modern psychotherapy are together modernizing yoga toward having its greatest impact so far in human history.
