Episode 59: Why Young Athletes are Embracing Yoga and Seeing Powerful Results
With Casey McBride
Casey McBride is a longtime yoga practitioner and teacher who specializes in working with men and young male athletes.
She joins us to talk about how she found her way to that niche; common themes she sees among yoga-curious men; using props; and how yoga helps her athletes gain strength and avoid (and recover from) injuries.
Casey also talks about:
The “underground revolution” of young athletes using yoga to gain strength and mobility
Her advice for guys just starting out with yoga
Why your ego is the enemy of a great yoga practice
Why physical therapy alone often doesn’t do the job
The meaning of her mantra “do just enough” and how that mindset helps her students stay healthy
