Why are we capable of having such strange dreams? How can metaphors in our language hold such sway on our actions? As we learn more about the mechanisms of human behavior through evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and other related fields, we're discovering just how intriguing the human species is.

Now - with the technological advances of modern archaeology and a new perspective on world history - we are finally able to piece together their compelling true stories. In Ancient Civilizations of North America, Professor Edwin Barnhart, Director of the Maya Exploration Center, will open your eyes to a fascinating world you never knew existed - even though you’ve been living right next to it, or even on top of it.

Great Course not hardly
OK in chapter one the narrator says "Watch me do it first before you try to do it". So they took the audio from a video and made it a "Great Course" . Really a failure Then on top of that the voice of Audible comes on in between chapters to warn you that this is not a substitute for real medical treatment and as he talks Siri goes off to ask me what to do... Where was the supervisor of the audio folks... This is the ultimate failure of all audiobooks... Audible, wake up then hang your head in shame.

If you spend considerable time doing yoga, you begin to see that it is about much more than just the body - the practice of yoga in fact reveals that the body is in no way separate from the pyschospiritual forces that animate it.

Goat yoga. Beer yoga. Dance party yoga. Wine and chocolate yoga. Based on the popularity and prevalence (and creativity) of yoga styles in Western culture today, it seems like anything counts as yoga. But how true is this to the original, authentic practice? To truly live a yogic lifestyle, you have to understand the true purpose of yoga: to help us learn to work systematically with our minds and with our bodies to better navigate the world outside us - and within us

Sage Rountree has been training yoga teachers for over a decade, and she’s heard the same concerns over and over: How can I help my students best? How can I keep my teaching fresh? How can I make smart choices around my schedule, my money, and the next steps in my career? The Professional Yoga Teacher’s Handbook speaks directly to these concerns in a warm, friendly voice.
