Summary

A lot of people come to yoga to help them balance some of the activities they do on a daily basis. After all, yoga is a great antidote to sitting in a chair, looking at a computer or iPhone screen, and other things sedentary people do.

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!

We talk about:

*How a hip injury led Debbie to physical therapy and eventually CrossFit and how that experience changed her view on what yoga could do for her

*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

0:00.0	Hey everyone I'm Andrea Ferretti and this is episode 113 of Yoga Land.
0:08.1	This is the pent ultimate, I love that word, second to last episode of the summer series. Next week I will share with you a bonus
0:16.4	episode that we just did with Jason where we answered your questions live in front of a live studio
0:22.2	audience, a live studio audience. A yoga studio audience.
0:24.4	Isn't that funny that it actually is a live studio audience
0:28.8	because it's out of yoga studio? And before we get into the interview, I have two little pieces of housekeeping. The first is that
0:35.2	Jason is offering a 200-hour training in San Francisco starting this September. He's teaching it with
0:42.0	Laura Burkhart, who you can listen to on one of my past episodes.
0:46.0	It's been a really long time since Jason has committed to doing a 200-hour training,
0:51.1	and this is an opportunity to start with his method and his approach
0:56.4	kind of on the ground floor of your training. It's also an opportunity for those of you
1:02.1	who want to deepen your practice and I'm kind of like the poster child for that because I did a 200 hour training gosh a long time ago more than a decade ago and I didn't know if I was going to teach afterward. I did teach part time for a few years, but it just kind of led me to my current place and career and to my current relationship to my practice which is just something that I'm
1:26.3	obviously so grateful for. So if you're thinking about it I will put a link to the information page on our show notes page and I'll also put a couple of blog
1:36.3	posts that Jason and Laura have written about what to expect from a 200 hour teacher training. I also want to just thank you all for leaving your iTunes

1:56.1	podcast and you're wondering where I get this what is this person's oh go to my
1:58.8	podcast reviews.com and you can sign up and this guy will collate them all and send you all your
2:04.4	international reviews so I see them now and I want to give a shout out to my
2:08.5	Canadian listeners I have so many reviews from Canada this time and so thank you. Thanks for listening and I'm glad you're out there.
2:17.6	Okay, okay, I feel like I'm being long-winded for me with this intro. Today my guest is Debbie Steingeser. Debbie is a long time
