Published: Dec. 20, 2023, 5 a.m.

Are you interested in a more natural way of living? \xa0Have you been struggling with body pain even though you stretch? In this episode I talk with Yogi Aaron. He is a trailblazing yoga teacher who is leading a global rebellion against the harmful practice of stretching. He pioneered the groundbreaking approach to yoga that shows people how to live pain-free by activating muscles through Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation\u2122. In a world where conventional stretching and flexibility practices are the prescribed norm for pain, Yogi Aaron\u2019s unorthodox method provides a safer and more effective permanent solution. What sets him apart is his wisdom, infectious humor, adventurous spirit, and personal healing journey, which distinguish him as a beloved leader in the yoga community and at his Blue Osa Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica. Today, we are discussing muscle issues and stretching, and how to improve our bodies without causing more issues.
