| 0:00.0 | If you look up the word spirit, you find the Latin root word, which is spiritus, and it means to breathe. |
| 0:06.0 | So if you are consciously breathing, you're aware of your breath, you're in control of the breath, it's a spiritual practice. |
| 0:16.2 | You cannot meditate. You can only make the conditions right for meditation to occur naturally. |
| 0:24.1 | If you just do that breathing for five to ten minutes, it definitely has a way of clearing out. |
| 0:33.1 | And the longer you do it, the more it'll clear out. |
| 0:49.6 | Hi, I'm Dr. Amy Robbins and welcome to life, death, and the space between. |
| 0:59.2 | I am so excited to share with you one of my most special teachers I've had over my years of doing yoga. |

| 2:05.3 | one of four. It's out now. Welcome, Joseph, to the show. I'm so excited to connect with you in |
| 2:13.4 | this way because we have not seen each other since the pandemic. So welcome. Thank you so much. |
| 2:21.1 | Yeah, it's great to be here. So let's start with your story of how you found yoga because it's really, |
