This video is a special release from the original Thinking Allowed series that ran on public television from 1986 until 2002. It was recorded in about 1988. It will remain public for only one week.

Yoga is a way of life involving attitudinal shifts, postures for flexibility and strength, sensory awareness, breathing exercises and meditation. In part one of this two part program Dr. Eleanor Criswell presents a perspective combining the classical yoga of Patanjali with modern somatic psychology. She demonstrates a basic pranayama breathing exercise, and discusses experiences that occur in yoga meditation, particularly sensations of light and sound.

Eleanor Criswell, EdD, is past-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology and is a founding director of the Saybrook Institute. This program is based on Dr. Criswell’s book How Yoga Works: An Introduction to Somatic Yoga.
