🎙️ The Path — Ashtanga Yoga, Breath & Teaching with Joseph Armstrong & Edgar Navarro

In this episode of The Path, Rozel Gonzales speaks with Joseph Armstrong and Edgar Navarro, longtime Ashtanga yoga practitioners, teachers, and co-directors of the internationally renowned Miami Life Center — a global hub for Ashtanga yoga, mindfulness, and conscious living.

Joseph and Edgar share their unique journeys into yoga, from fitness, theatre, and design to a deeply rooted practice grounded in philosophy, breath, and lineage. Together, they explore what it truly means to teach Ashtanga yoga with integrity — including the responsibility of the student–teacher relationship, the power of presence, and the role of pranayama in daily practice.

The conversation dives into pranayama as more than a technique, touching on its emotional depth, accessibility, and transformative potential. They also speak candidly about community building, running a yoga school, and balancing entrepreneurship with staying true to the heart of the practice.

This episode offers an honest, grounded look at yoga teaching, philosophy, mindfulness, and creating spaces where both students and teachers can grow.

Joseph Armstrong and Edgar Navarro will be teaching in person at Énergie EnCorps in Montreal for a special Ashtanga Yoga workshop weekend.
