In this episode, I sit down with AJ White-Graff, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, E-RYT 500, a physical therapist, experienced yoga teacher, and anatomy educator based in Long Beach, California. With over a decade of experience in yoga and fitness, AJ brings a unique perspective on bridging yoga and physical therapy.

AJ shares their journey from being a multi-sport athlete and dancer to discovering yoga through injury recovery, eventually becoming a full-time yoga teacher and later pursuing a career in physical therapy. We talk about the challenges of being a full-time yoga teacher, why anatomy knowledge is essential for yoga teachers, and how AJ integrates physical therapy with yoga to make movement safe, accessible, and empowering, especially for yoga teachers.

This conversation is full of insights for yoga teachers, physical therapists, and anyone passionate about movement education, injury recovery, and lifelong learning.
