Episode 57: My Yoga Story and a Guide for Getting Started, as told to Larry Milburn
With Derek Vanderwarker
Ever wondered why I’m so motivated to spread the good word about the benefits of yoga to guys everywhere? This episode lays it all out.
That’s because today the mic is turned on me, as I’m interviewed by my good friend Larry Milburn, on his excellent podcast Roadie Free Radio.
I share how it all started with an injury to a muscle I barely knew existed, which led to a lot of physical and mental pain. That’s when things got interesting…
I also talk about:
The injury that led me down a path of loss and growth
Making the decision to take responsibility for my own recovery
My early experiences with Bikram yoga
How injuries from decades ago come back to haunt us guys
Getting started with Iyengar yoga
Training with Alison West at Yoga Union
My advice for getting started with yoga
The mat and props I recommend
