Answering the question of how often to practice yoga seems simple enough, but the full answer is more nuanced than most students expect. This episode takes a broader look at what the body actually needs to stay healthy and resilient over time, why yoga works best as part of a varied movement diet rather than as a student's only form of exercise, and what the yoga tradition itself says about practice beyond the physical postures. I'll also share a personal story of injury that came directly from too much deep stretching, which is one of the most common and least-talked-about patterns in dedicated yoga practitioners.

We'll cover:

• What We Get Wrong About More Yoga
• What a Balanced Movement Diet Includes
• My Personal Injury Story
• Yoga - More Than Asana
• A Practical Answer on the Frequency Question
