This is the debut show for Living Yoga Radio hosted by Robin Rothenberg. Her guest was Kelly McGonigal, PhD, who teaches yoga, meditation, and psychology at Stanford University. She is also the author of Yoga for Pain Relief, (New Harbinger 2009), and the editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Yoga Therapy, a peer-reviewed journal of research and best practices. She is a founding member of the Yoga Service Council and an adviser to several non-profits that bring yoga and meditation to underserved and at-risk populations. Her most recent project is the Compassion Cultivation Protocol, a program developed by the Stanford Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, a collaboration between Tibetan Buddhist scholars and Western scientists.
