But you might not realize that if you’re an avid yogi who practices daily, it can be helpful to add other types of movement into your routine to counterbalance the effects of the yoga asanas.

That’s what today’s guest, longtime vinyasa yoga teacher and CrossFit trainer Debbie Steingesser, came to realize after she suffered a hip injury that required physical therapy and strength training to heal.

This week, I talk to Debbie about how strength training has changed her practice–and her life!

  • What is CrossFit is and how can it be a complementary practice for yoga students
  • How the benefits of cross training go beyond the physical
