If you've been wondering how to incorporate resistance training into your yoga classes without losing what makes yoga yoga — this episode is for you.
In this conversation breaks down his exact six-phase structure bringing resistance training into a yoga context. The central insight: resistance doesn't make yoga harder. Done intelligently, it makes yoga easier, more embodied, and more effective than ever before.
We talk through:
-Why Jason developed this approach — the personal and professional reasons behind this evolution
-Why yoga props have always facilitated length and support
-How resistance training and yoga are complementary modalities that address each other's gaps directly
-Andrea's personal experience of how targeted strengthening resolved years of chronic SI joint pain
-Why pranayama and meditation are non-negotiable in this structure
-The interdisciplinary philosophy behind Jason's approach — why looking at embodiment through multiple lenses produces greater truth than any single ideology
-Why Jason is not replacing his existing yoga teaching — this is an addition, not a substitution!
