This episode begins with Eddie Modestini casually dropping into a yoga pose that makes him look 13 years old.

The surprising part?

He is 73 years old.

From there, we dive into a lifetime of learning from a man who has spent more than five decades studying movement, breath, healing, and what it means to remain a student of life.

We explore Eddie’s journey from working on an elk ranch in Paonia and suffering a debilitating slipped disc to being told surgery was his best option. Instead of going under the knife, he chose a different path—Tai Chi, massage therapy, and eventually yoga—a decision that would completely change the course of his life.

Along the way, we discuss:

• Teaching yoga to Bob Marley’s mother and the Marley family, including Ziggy Marley
• Working with musicians like Michael Franti
• His connection to my friend Alec and their time studying yoga together in India
• Why he’s in Boulder this week for Alec’s wedding
• How staying a student of life may be one of the most powerful longevity practices available
• The role of curiosity in keeping both the body and mind youthful
• Bee breathing, box breathing, breath retention, and a Norwegian exercise technique
• How breath can influence energy, focus, recovery, and wellbeing
• Movement as medicine
• His thoughts on nutrition, organ meats, and aging well

More than a conversation about yoga, this is a conversation about choosing a different path when life presents obstacles—and continuing to learn long after most people stop asking questions.

At 73 years young, Eddie is living proof that age and aging are not the same thing.
