just in case you haven't heard, I've started a new weekly teacher's class. Each week, people,

mostly podcast listeners like yourself, come together live online to engage me and each other

in debate and dialogue and inquiry into many of the topics that I discuss with my guests here on the

podcast. This week, we talked about the difference between yoga and yoga therapy, if there is one,

and whether or not yoga teachers are frauds if they don't practice what they're teaching,

and how to meet the expectations of students when they come into

your class, wanting something other than what you teach. And lastly, we talked about

reclaiming practice as something more than just fitness. The conversations are interesting

and informative, and I want to invite you to get in on it. It's the J. Brown

Yoga Teachers class. You can find it at J.Brown Yoga.com.

Okay, here we are.

This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast.

My name is Jay Brown.

I would like to say welcome and thanks.

Probably not a surprise to many of you,

but maybe you're new,

maybe you're not used to my usual opening.

In either case, I'm very happy to be with you.

Thanks to everyone for investing some of your time and brain power to be listening to this.

We are at the tail end of summer, aren't we?

My eldest daughter is starting the fourth grade today, the day that this is posting.

Long-time listeners might remember me speaking about her when she was in first and second grade.
