On today's show, Diana interviews one of the female CrossFitters she coaches, Merrily Brown. Nearly one year ago at age 49, Merrily tried CrossFit in Diana's garage, fully expecting to hate it just like every other trendy workout program she'd tried... Merrily was shocked to find herself not hating CrossFit at all, and not even simply tolerating it - she loved it!   At fifty years old, she's never been this fit or felt this good. She wants everyone to know that it's never too late to discover your inner athlete!   

Welcome to Everything Yoga – Smart, Simple and Straightforward with your host Meagan McCrary, yoga aficionado and author of “Pick Your Yoga Practice: Exploring and Understanding Different Styles of Yoga.” On a mission to give yoga a real voice from a practical perspective, she’s here today to set the story straight with the top three yoga myths. Most of us in the U.S. have an idea of what yoga is, something to do with hot, sweaty classes, acrobatic poses and having the best booty ever, however, there is so much more to the vast, comprehensive tradition of yoga than the physical practice, known as hatha yoga. Meagan breaks down what yoga actually is and explains how the practice has evolved in modern culture. She also address the most common excuse for not practicing – I’m not flexible enough to do yoga – and why not all yoga is created equal.  If you thought yoga teachers were just spiritual hippies, all rainbows and butterflies, guess again. Meagan will prove to you why she and her collueges are some of the most knowledgable and educated professionals in the health and fitness industry.

Welcome to Everything Yoga: Smart, Simple & Straightforward with your host Meagan McCrary, giving yoga a real voice from a practical perspective. L.A.-based yoga teacher and freelance writer, Meagan McCrary has immersed herself in the American yoga scene, taking classes, researching and interviewing prominent teachers for her upcoming book, “Pick Your Yoga Practice: Exploring and Understanding Different Styles of Yoga” (New World Library, 2014).  Continuing from last week's conversation, Meagan dives deeper into the differences among vinyasa-style and alignment-based class. Herself an alignment expert, she shares why holding the poses is benificial, along with her personal teaching style and what her classes are all about. Meagan also shares what she's noticed teaching yoga at Equinox, where the teachers are primarily vinyasa flow or power yoga, and some of her students' reactions.   Bottom line: American yoga has become as diverse as the Americans who practice it. There are a number of styles, hundreds of studios and thousands of teachers—not everyone is going to like every stye. But you don't know until you know, and Meagan is here to let you know what's available in ways of practicing yoga. She doesn't care where or what style you practice, just that you get in your bodies, start breathing and become present.
