Whether you’re a newbie or have been practicing for years, injuries can happen while practicing yoga, as with any other activity.
Today, I have an interview on a topic that, in the past, I did not care much about: yoga.
In the past, I thought yoga was for people that liked to compete to see who was most flexible. Kind of like guys in the gym, trying to see who can lift more.
Over the last two years, my thinking has changed regarding yoga, and a few weeks back, I came across a yoga program.
I decided to give the program a go and do it once a week. It is my Tuesday afternoon ritual. I thought it would be good to get the author of the program on the phone and do a little interview with her for you.
Enjoy the interview, and let me know what you think.

Here is a little info on Kris.
Kris Fondran came to yoga for physical flexibility and learned how to manage stress in her life.
In 2008, as a part of her Master’s Degree in Exercise Science at Cleveland State University, she researched the benefits of a 10-minute, twice-daily Sun Salutation practice. After only six weeks of the course, the participants showed a significant increase in upper body strength and hamstring flexibility.
You can learn more about Kris at her blog, Mobile Yoga Workout.
The main program that Kris has created is called ShapeShifter Yoga.
Take care.
Looking forward to getting your feedback on the interview.
