Amy Weintraub breaks into fiction, but her yogi roots ground the experience

 

 

Amy Weintraub, founder of Life Force Yoga and author of Temple Dancer joins eHealth Radio and the Yoga Channel.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Amy Weintraub discuss the following:

1. How can a regular yoga practice inspire creativity in your work and life?
2. I know you are a proponent of evidence-based yoga protocols - what does that mean?
3. How can some of these evidence-based yoga protocols help manage mood?
4. You've published about yoga before, but your next book is fiction, why did you make the switch?
5. How did a deeper relationship with the Indian history you researched for Temple Dancer enrich your yoga practice?
