Description
In this week's episode, Mae takes a poke at a common practice in Japanese culture, where the sense of "in" or "out" is pronounced by selectively using different forms of language. In addition, there's an underlying understanding of "honne and tatemae" or "truth and front."

Mae Yoshikawa Mae is an author, yoga & meditation practitioner, teacher, and mother. In 2006, Mae became the first Japanese woman to be authorized by the founding school of Ashtanga Yoga in India.
