Adam explores the concept of emotions in the body in the context
of yoga. He discusses the origins of yoga asana as a steady seat
for meditation and the use of asana as an ascetic practice to
hold the body still against the changing world. Adam explains how
yoga, particularly Hatha Yoga, can help change neurological
pathways and transform states of mind. He emphasizes the
importance of balancing the active and passive aspects of
ourselves and the role of the diaphragm in breathing techniques.
