| 0:07.0 | I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to our theme this week. |
| 0:12.1 | We are exploring the ancient Yamas from the yoga |
| 0:19.2 | sutras of Pantanjali who was an Indian sage who lived clear back somewhere between the time frame of 500 |
| 0:29.6 | BC to somewhere it is believed around 200 a.D. the Yoga Sutras allows you to live |
| 0:40.7 | your life according to the principles of yoga. |
