The Six-Phase Structure to Build a Strong Yoga Class23 sep43 min

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!
