| 0:00.0 | One thing we haven't talked about recently on the yoga talk show are trigger points. |
| 0:03.8 | Trigger points are these sensitive areas in your body and there's a few places where they tend to show up. |
| 0:10.4 | And what happens is when they get inflamed, when they get inflamed when they get irritated when they get overactive if it's a muscular |
| 0:16.5 | Trigger point it usually creates pain in some other part of your body. I'll give you an example |
