0:12.4 | The little red lights on, and you're listening. |
0:17.3 | This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. |
0:26.1 | My name is Jay Brown, and if it's your first time here, let me welcome you. |
0:40.1 | Everybody else, what's going on? You might hear it sounds a little different. My sound might be a little different this week. I'm not at home. I'm in my father-in-law's workshop in Virginia. |
0:43.8 | Long-time listeners know I come up here every now and again. |
0:49.8 | We're here for one last weekend with them before school's supposed to start. |
