Starr Struck Radio

In this week’s episode, we’re revisiting a topic that we covered last season: guys + yoga--and specifically the question, why don’t more guys do yoga? Today, we take this conversation a bit further by chatting with our friend Brian about his recent foray into the world of yoga.

Brian is a big, athletic guy who, until shortly after hearing episode #8, had never done yoga before. Thus, he was the perfect person to interview about his yoga experience and was able to shed some serious light on this topic.

In the first half of the episode, Brian shares his preconceptions about yoga, his experience taking his first class, + what makes him feel awkward about being one of the only guys in class.

In the second half of the episode, we continue our discussion of why more guys don't do yoga, we discuss how teachers and studios can attract more guys, + Ben gets REAL (as usual).

Your body has a lot to say, but do you listen? That's what we discuss in this week's episode--what "listening to your body" means, how to do it, and how to apply this concept to your life in order to be happier and healthier. In the first half of the show, we discuss what we mean when we say “listen to your body” and how to use this idea in yoga and in daily life off of the mat. In the second half of the show, we discuss how this concept relates to exercise and working out, sleep, illness, nutrition, and making big life decisions. We laugh, we make fun of each other, and of course, we talk #firstworldproblems.
