Ep 596: Stop Stretching and Kill Your Chronic Pain with Yogi Aaron


Are you interested in a more natural way of living?  Have you been struggling with body pain even though you stretch? In this episode I talk with Yogi Aaron. He is a trailblazing yoga teacher who is leading a global rebellion against the harmful practice of stretching. He pioneered the groundbreaking approach to yoga that shows people how to live pain-free by activating muscles through Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™. In a world where conventional stretching and flexibility practices are the prescribed norm for pain, Yogi Aaron’s unorthodox method provides a safer and more effective permanent solution. What sets him apart is his wisdom, infectious humor, adventurous spirit, and personal healing journey, which distinguish him as a beloved leader in the yoga community and at his Blue Osa Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica. Today, we are discussing muscle issues and stretching, and how to improve our bodies without causing more issues.

 

 

Questions I asked:

·      Can you tell us about your journey?

·      Why is muscle activation so connected to being pain free?

·      What do you mean by stretching killing us?

·      What is the number one yoga pose we should avoid?

·      What is the secret to staying young through muscle activation?

·      How does flexibility lead to more pain?

·      What are the 3 yogic muscle activation techniques that will keep you pain-free?

·      Where can people find you online?

 

Topics Discussed:

·      Stretching

·      Immune issues.

·      Flexibility.

·      The science behind aging.

·      Yoga

·      Improving health.

·      Aging well.

 

Quotes from the show:

·      “There’s a lot of smoke and mirrors in the supplement industry.” @yogi_aaron @SisterhoodSweat

·      “Almost 100% of the Vitamin C today is produced in China.” @yogi_aaron @SisterhoodSweat

·      “Supplements might be a short-term benefit, but in the long term, you’re going to struggle.” @yogi_aaron @SisterhoodSweat

·      “No matter how hard we try, we’re not getting nutrients from the food anymore because they aren’t there.” @yogi_aaron @SisterhoodSweat
