Epi 15: Real Men Do Yoga with Steven Rousseau

Fruits of Life

Plant-based Personal Trainer, Holistic Nutritionist and certified Kemetic Yoga instructor, Steven Rousseau, owner of Brownstone Wellness based in Brooklyn, joins your host to discuss body image, psychological addictions to food, functional movement, alignment, wellness and the evolution of the fitness industry which has moved away from weight and strength training to now incorporate methods that promote longevity. As we dive deep into Steven's personal experiences and evolution, we dispel the idea that yoga is for white women and prove that Real Men Do Yoga. Steven explains how he accidentally got into yoga and how his daily practice led him to Kemetic Yoga. Steven reveals why it is so vital for him serve in wellness and be an example for other men and youths in becoming grounded and living in Ma'at (balance). We discuss the importance of why melanated people must reconnect with our divine selves and reclaim indigenous practices that involve mind - body - soulful connections. The roots of yoga is discussed. Kemetic Yoga is described as a tool to self regulate, tap into one's life force energy, move toward mindfulness and balance off the mat.
