I recently recorded a conversation with Keric Morinaga who is a master teacher of yoga. In this podcast, I’ve pulled together the parts of the conversation that focused specifically on yoga and the process of aging. I started taking Keric’s challenging online classes at the beginning of the pandemic shut-down and, at age 72. As a result of the practice, I’ve become stronger and more balanced. I supplement Keric’s perspectives and insights with some of my thoughts on how yoga helps me work on many of the “CogWheels of Brain Health.”
