0:00.0 | All right. Hello and welcome to Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. And I'm happy to be with you ahead of |
0:10.5 | schedule. I've been putting out one podcast a month. And it was only just two weeks ago, I think, |
0:18.6 | that I put out my episode with Ryan Cunningham. |
0:22.5 | And I'm not scheduled to have another one out for another two to three weeks. |
0:26.7 | But frankly, I've been recording more and a few of them have been sitting around. |
