Welcome to the Ben Greenfield Fitness.com podcast.

We provide you with free exercise, nutrition, weight loss, triathlon and wellness advice

from the top fitness experts in the nation.

So whether you're an Iron Man triathlete or you're just trying to shove a few pounds,

get ready for non-run-of-the-mill cutting edge content from Ben Greenfield Fitness.com.

Hey folks, it's Ben here with Jason Walker.

And you may have come across articles written by Jason before if you've looked for health information on the worldwide web

because he is the curator and one of the founders of a website called Mind Body Green.

And they've got a real real focus on really a lot of things naturally health-related,

but especially topics like wellness.

And in Jason's case, one of the things we'll talk about today, yoga.

Jason is himself, however, he comes from a background of pretty serious athletics.

He played varsity basketball for four years.

Now he lives in Brooklyn, New York and runs this company.

But the guy is, he's an athlete.

He is a real wealth of knowledge when it comes to yoga and wellness and de-stressing and naturally healing your body.

So we're really privileged to have him on the show with us.

And he has kind of a cool backstory too about why he ever opted for yoga in the first place.

And he's going to share that with us and a lot more.

So Jason, thanks for coming on the call, man.

Awesome. Thank you so much, Ben. It's an honor to be here.

So I got to tell you one of the places where I first came across your writing was an article called Five Reasons Why Dudes Should Practice Yoga.
