18. SOUNDBITE (English) LeAnne Tolley, Latter-day Saint and a yoga teacher:
“Sometimes we focus so much on spirit good and body bad and our job is to overcome the body and get to a place where we are these spiritually enlightened beings that the body doesn’t even matter anymore. That is actually just the opposite. Yoga teaches us mind, body, spirit connected. That really is, in my perception, what God is.”

“It hurts my heart when people feel like, oh, you can’t do yoga, and you can do the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It hurts my heart, the feeling of, it’s one or the other. What I’ve learned from yoga only fortifies, enhances. And deepens my personal faith.”
