YogaScussion ℠ @[email protected] · 2026-09-30 · 14:56 UTC

The false choice between "yoga" and "medicine" ends here.

In this YogaScussion clip, a yoga and medicine expert breaks down why integrating the two is the ultimate health hack:

→ Yoga lowers cortisol (the stress hormone)
→ Less stress means your body utilizes medication more efficiently
→ "Clubbing" yoga with your medical treatment works better than either alone

New preview episode out now, https://youtu.be/7Pwi1udBCO8, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Thursday #Workout:
10 minutes of yoga.
20 minutes of strength training.
25.6 KM of #Cycling (15℃, 96% humidity, and 9 KM/H wind).

Good workouts, and a rather warm and humid ride around Ottawa.

Walked over to a new client and spent a few hours re-keystoning a bunch of ethernet. I really enjoy doing that sort of thing; pop on a podcast and letting my hands do the work.

Wednesday #Workout:
20 minutes of yoga.
11 minutes of strength training.
8 KM of #Walking (light drizzle, 11℃, 99% humidity, and 8 KM/H wind).

Realized after the fact that today was supposed to be 10 minutes of yoga and 20 of strength. Oops. 🤦🏻🤷🏻 Stroll in the drizzle, picked up some groceries, and ambled home.

Today is the Canadian National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, recognizing the atrocities and generational effects of the Canadian Indian residential school system. Stop and remember.
