On Monday you'll hear a fascinating interview that I did Baxter Bell, MD, co-author of the soon-to-be-released book, Yoga for Healthy Aging,  Baxter was a traditionally trained family physician just as I was, but he decided after many years in a successful practice that he was going to pursue yoga teacher training. 

I met Baxter in 2000 when we both took the Acupuncture for Physicians training at UCLA in California and we became fast friends.  You'll learn on the show one of the reasons why Bax was "pivotal" in my spiritual growth way back when.

 

I wanted to have Baxter on the show because there are a lot of myths out there about yoga and Baxter is here to set things straight and how yoga can be a part of healthy aging - that is, staying healthy as we age, not necessarily just living longer.  So his book, Yoga for Healthy Aging isn't for the elderly per se, but for everyone who wants helpful tools to deal with illness and stress and to live WELL.

 

If you're not sure if this is for you, you can check out Baxter's Yoga for Healthy Aging blog:  http://yogaforhealthyaging.blogspot.com/ which is a free resource.  I asked Baxter how he and his co-author decided to write this book and the story is a fascinating tale of how synchronicities abound when one is on one's Divine Path!
