The Catapult Effect

In this week’s episode, I talk to Yogi Aaron…one of the most sought-after teachers today, Yogi Aaron is trailblazing a new path in the world of yoga.
Known for his unorthodox perspectives on stretching and flexibility and how both cause more harm than good, his teachings aim to help as many people as possible live a pain-free life so they can realize yoga's true intentions.
He is the creator of the revolutionary approach to yoga — Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™ (AYAMA) and the online platform: The Yogi Club, host of the yoga podcast ‘Stop Stretching’, author of ‘Autobiography of a Naked Yogi’ and his new book ‘Stop Stretching! A New Yogic Approach To Master Your Body + Live Pain-Free', and is the Co-Owner of Blue Osa Yoga Retreat & Spa in Costa Rica where he leads Yoga Teacher Training Immersions year-round.
Yogi Aaron’s sense of humor, contagious laugh, and courageous adventurous spirit, makes him a stand-out and favored leading yoga teacher today…and you will hear that sense of humor in this episode too! His energy is incredibly contagious, and you’ll be on a high listening.
