Today we are continuing our discussion on research. In the first half of this interview, Katja and Tiffany discuss why research is so valuable, where to look for the good stuff, and how to filter through this information with a critical eye.

In this episode, we talk about some common issues with certain types of research, the current gaps in the yoga research that's being done, and what the future holds for research.

Listen in to learn about the features to look for in high-quality research, tips for getting started with finding the right research information to support your practice, and some of the ways that yoga teachers can safely point to research for their students.
