Next, he discusses the significance of creating a gentle curve in your spine, which can drastically improve your balance and stability.

Throughout the episode, Brian's insights are peppered with light-hearted humor and relatable anecdotes, making the learning process enjoyable and less daunting. For those who often find themselves running late to class, Brian has a compassionate take: these students are likely the ones who need yoga the most.
