I plan to invite Dan back to the podcast later this year. If you have any questions that you’d like me to ask of him, please email me at josh at joshsummers dot net.

In the next episode, I’ll talk with French Yin Yoga teacher Sebastian Pucelle, and how he thinks about integrating meditation practice within Yin Yoga.

As I mentioned in the episode, I would love to have you train with me at www.yinyogaschool.com.
