Episode 9: Pioneering Yoga with High Schoolers in the 1990s
With Craig Shimel
With three decades as a high school physical education teacher combined with thirty years of service in the Navy and Army Reserve, Craig Shimel has amassed a ton of perspective and knowledge around life, community, service, and fitness. In the mid-1990s he helped pioneer the integration of functional movement and yoga in youth fitness after teaching himself simple sun salutations exercises by watching Rodney Yee’s beginner’s yoga VHS tapes in his living room.
