-------------------------------------------------------------

Today’s guest says most of us are doing yoga all wrong - and it’s why we’re still stiff, sore, and frustrated. Jeff Bailey, founder of Avita Yoga and author of Mobility for Life, has spent decades helping people move with less pain and more awareness. His approach flips traditional yoga on its head - focusing on shapes instead of poses, slowing down instead of pushing through, and healing the body by working with it, not against it. In this conversation, we talk about why flexibility is overrated, how mobility is the true key to lifelong health, and why mindful movement might just be the missing piece in your minimalist lifestyle. If you’ve ever felt limited by your body or burned out by “doing more,” this episode will show you a gentler, smarter way to move - and to live.
