Dr Jessica Frazier from the Department of Religious Studies has acted as the main consultant on a BBC programme entitled Yoga: Bend it Like Britain, which is to be shown on BBC1 on Sunday 21 June at 2.20pm.
Sunday is International Day of Yoga, as declared by the United Nations, and to celebrate, BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty delves into the roots of this ancient Indian tradition and discovers that for many Hindus it is a deeply spiritual practice.
Jessica will also be interviewed on several regional radio shows on Sunday morning to discuss the relationship between Hinduism and Yoga.
The programme will be available on BBC iPlayer after transmission at www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b060cdnl
