A way that doesn’t involve stretching and even holds the potential to eliminate your pain for good? Curious? Welcome to Stop Stretching with Yogi Aaron!

  • Episode 1 - Does Flexibility Make You Happier?
    Jun 14 2022

    Have you been stretching and wondered why you are not a happier or more enlightened person?  Maybe Stretching isn’t the answer!?

    Welcome to Yogi Aaron’s STOP Stretching podcast series.

    In this first episode, through his story, Yogi Aaron shares why he has come to the conclusion that stretching is not good for your body. 

    While many believe that stretching helps against tightness, Yogi Aaron shows that flexibility is not the key to happiness. He shares why yoga and stretching do not help to cure tightness and that there is a cheaper and healthier way to become pain-free than choosing therapists and painkillers. 

    The Stop Stretching Podcast series will show you exactly why yoga has nothing to do with flexibility. You will also find out why you hurt yourself during your practice and how some yoga poses cause you more problems in the long term. 

    We take a look at the history and benefits of AYAMA (Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™). 

    Pain and muscle tightness are symptoms of underlying problems and they are telling us that something needs to be addressed. 

    So let’s work for a pain-free, happy and long life together with the help of the first episode, addressing: How does stretching cause more problems in the long term? Have you been stretching and wondered why you are not a happier or more enlightened person?
