You might be surprised to find out that stretching, as we typically think of it, is doing more damage than it is helping. Yogi Aaron created Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle Activation™ (AYAMA) as a technique to help us live pain free.Using movement to illicit a response from the muscles gives the proper feedback about how that muscle or group of muscles is operating.

Yogi Aaron's journey in the yoga world began in the mid-1990s, a time when the practice was gaining traction globally. Practicing alongside notable individuals like Wade Morrison and witnessing the rise of brands such as Lululemon, Yogi Aaron has seen the yoga community evolve over the years. He takes pride in Lululemon's international success, particularly given its Canadian roots. Born into a "hippy dippy" family, Aaron's early years were steeped in alternative spiritual practices, including time spent at a spiritual healing center in Vancouver. This background clashed with his Christian evangelical upbringing, creating an internal conflict that would later shape his approach to yoga and spirituality. Challenges and Transformations As Aaron aged, he noticed his body tightening and saw yoga as a solution for maintaining mobility. Initially, his practice focused on physical stretching and hardcore power yoga. However, a pivotal moment came when Wade Morrison commented that Aaron lacked true practice. This critique pushed Aaron to seek a deeper understanding and more profound guidance in yoga. Aaron's yoga practice not only improved his physical flexibility but also enhanced his mental focus, helping him manage his attention deficit disorder. His formative years at a boys' boarding school in Alberta, filled with outdoor activities, had taught him the importance of managing his energy effectively. Despite early improvements, Aaron faced worsening back problems due to incorrect adjustments and stretching practices in yoga. These injuries led him to delve deeper into yoga beyond physical postures, exploring its spiritual dimensions.  He studied with various influential yoga teachers, including Rod Stryker, Rajmani Tigunait, and Alan Finger, embracing the deeper, spiritual aspects of yoga. This journey took him beyond physical poses to a greater understanding of energy management and enlightenment. Innovations in Yoga Practice Aaron's commitment to yoga, despite significant injuries, led him to question traditional practices and seek new understanding. He discovered muscle activation techniques, which provided profound insights into biomechanics and muscle function. This newfound knowledge transformed his approach to yoga, shifting the focus from traditional stretching and alignment practices to proper body mechanics and muscle activation. Recognizing the need to challenge misconceptions in the yoga world, Aaron began to understand his body's pain and stiffness, particularly in his hamstrings. This exploration led him to integrate muscle activation techniques into yoga, aiming to replace traditional stretching with muscle activation.  Aaron discovered that muscle tightness, such as in the hamstrings, is a protective mechanism due to other muscles not contracting properly. True mobility and stability, he realized, come from muscles contracting and shortening correctly, not lengthening. To bring this biomechanical awareness into yoga, Aaron developed the A.Y.A.M.A. (Applied Yoga Anatomy and Muscle Activation) method. His teachings emphasize the importance of proper body mechanics and muscle activation for true mobility and stability. Aaron's Blue Osa Yoga Retreat & Spa serves as a sanctuary for yoga teachers, individual retreat-goers, and hosts his yoga teacher training sessions. To distance his yoga retreat from his previous naked men's yoga group, he rebranded himself from Aaron Star to Yogi Aaron. He leverages online platforms like YouTube and the Yogi Club to provide content and courses on becoming pain-free. Commitment to a Pain-Free Life A key message in Aaron's teachings is the importance of finding a real teacher who challenges and inspires growth. Despite facing resistance and skepticism from the yoga community due to his unconventional views on stretching, Aaron remains steadfast in his mission. His book "Stop Stretching" and his teachings aim to help people live pain-free lives. For those interested in exploring Yogi Aaron's innovative approach to yoga and mobility, his website, yogiaaron.com, serves as a comprehensive hub. Here, visitors can access his book, podcast, and free resources, including a "7 Days to Becoming Pain-Free" series. Aaron's commitment is clear: to help anyone who comes into his space live their best pain-free life. In this podcast, you will learn about: The emphasis of Yogi Aaron's A.Y.A.M.A. method on muscle activation and proper body mechanics over traditional stretching. The integration of physical flexibility, mental focus, and spiritual understanding in Aaron's journey, enhancing overall well-being and managing attention deficit disorder. The impact of significant injuries on Aaron's shift to muscle activation techniques, transforming his approach to yoga and mobility. Aaron's use of YouTube and the Yogi Club to provide courses like "7 Days to Becoming Pain-Free," aimed at helping people live pain-free lives. The focus of Aaron's trainings and retreats on proper biomechanics and muscle activation for achieving true mobility. And much more.

Yogi Aaron on The Life Changing Power of Mindfulness   “Wake up every morning and ask those questions, how can I live my best life today? How can I live more fully?” -Yogi Aaron   Life often presents us with unexpected challenges, and how we respond to these “bumps in the road” can define our path forward. In this compelling podcast episode, we meet a yogi whose tale is not just about yoga—it's a profound narrative of facing chronic pain, confronting one's identity, and ultimately finding empowerment through adversity. Yogi Aaron's story begins with yoga, a practice he adopted at 18 to combat tightness in his body. What started as a search for physical flexibility turned into a 25-year saga of chronic pain, culminating in a dire emergency room visit and a surgeon's recommendation for spinal fusion. This moment of crisis forced Aaron to question everything he knew about his body and his identity. But Aaron's tale is not one of defeat. It's a story of transformation and light-bulb moments. It's about flipping the script on victimhood and learning to ask, “What don't I know?” This pivotal question led Aaron to explore muscle activation techniques, radically changing his understanding of the body and biomechanics. He discovered that many of us walk around with major muscles simply not working, leading to a cascade of stress and inflammation. Through his journey, Aaron not only healed himself but also began to help others. He delves into the less-is-more philosophy, the power of isometric holds, and the spiritual and psychological aspects of yoga. He emphasizes the importance of relaxation and introduces us to practices like yoga nidra, which can be more restorative than sleep. This episode isn't just about yoga; it's about life, resilience, and the profound impact of mindset on our health and well-being. Aaron's reflections on mental health, the importance of disconnecting from electronics, and maintaining presence are lessons for us all. He reminds us of the beauty of life and the importance of living with purpose, regardless of the challenges we face. So, if you've ever felt overwhelmed by life's hurdles or struggled with chronic pain, tune in to this episode. Let Aaron inspire you to embrace your inner strength, reevaluate your understanding of your body, and approach life's bumps with a sense of empowerment.

Episode #223 Yogi Aaron, How To Live A Pain Free Life Hello Health Heroes!  This week I interviewed Yogi Aaron, a wonderful man who had suffered from back pain for 25 years before he found the solution. Now, you may think that he healed himself with yoga due to his name and you are correct. What you don't know is that doing yoga improperly is what made his back issue so bad that he was on pain meds at one point. I have done yoga myself for years and had to completely open up and drop a belief system I had around yoga especially the “Stretching” piece which I now know is all wrong. If you're a yogi or not, get prepared to be blown away with this information and more importantly act on this information to start healing your body if you are in pain. Enjoy the show!

Learn the secrets of Ayama Yoga with Yogi Aaron and turn your deepest pains into powerful catalysts for personal growth on Unleash Thyself.Hey friend! Let me tell you about this inspiring chat with Yogi Aaron. He shares an incredible story of how a near-death experience in the Himalayas completely changed his perspective on life. After getting hit by a boulder and breaking his leg on a mountain glacier, he thought he might die up there. In making peace with his life in what could have been his final moments, two realizations emerged: profound gratitude for the life he'd lived, and clarity on how he wanted to live going forward if he survived. It shook him awake - he slowed down and started appreciating life's little moments.

In this episode with Yogi Aaron, we delve into the misconceptions surrounding yoga and the importance of understanding the true purpose of the practice. Yogi shares his personal journey of experiencing chronic pain and how it led him to question the traditional approach to yoga. Yogi discusses the history of yoga, the stereotypes associated with it, and the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the practice. He emphasizes the importance of focusing the mind and cultivating inner peace through yoga. We also explore the concept of muscle activation technique and its role in addressing muscle imbalances and pain. Yogi discusses the importance of movement and muscle activation for aging well and reducing pain. Yogi explains that as people age, their bodies tighten up as a protective mechanism, but by activating the muscles at the joints, the body can feel safe to move again. He emphasizes the need to reframe the understanding of tightness as a protective state and suggests muscle activation as a way to heal and improve range of motion. He also shares the one pose, called Superman pose, that can help strengthen the back muscles and improve posture. Finally, we discuss the intersection of stability and flexibility and how cultivating stability can lead to greater freedom of movement and overall well-being. Takeaways > Yoga is often misunderstood and associated solely with stretching, but it encompasses much more, including the cultivation of inner peace and the ability to access the inner sanctum at any moment. > Stretching alone is not enough to address muscle imbalances and chronic pain. Muscle activation technique, which focuses on strengthening and activating the neuromuscular connection, can be more effective in promoting stability and relieving pain. > The practice of yoga should not be limited to physical postures but should also include concentration and focus of the mind. By training the mind to be present and focused, individuals can experience a sense of peace and become better versions of themselves. > The traditional stereotypes associated with yoga, such as the image of a certain demographic or the emphasis on stretching, can create misconceptions and hinder a deeper understanding of the practice. > Cultivating stability in the body is essential for maintaining mobility and preventing injury. Stability and flexibility are interconnected, and focusing solely on flexibility without stability can lead to instability and further issues. Age is defined by our ability to move, and as we age, our bodies tighten up as a protective mechanism. Muscle activation can help heal and improve range of motion, even in conditions like frozen shoulder syndrome. > Tightness is a protective state, and getting muscles to work properly can reduce tightness and pain. > Neurological strength before exercise is crucial for better outcomes and muscle development.

Discover why muscle tightness often cries out for stabilization rather than elongation and how isometric exercises—like the underestimated power of the bridge and Superman poses—can correct compensations and prevent the dreaded hunched back of later years. Yogi Aron demonstrates that dedicating mere minutes each day to these simple exercises is more effective in fortifying your posture than hours spent in the gym, promising a future where chronic pain is no longer your constant companion. ⠀

On today's episode, I share the mic with Yogi Aaron. Yogi Aaron found himself drawn to the world of yoga in the early 90s. Dabbling in various athletic pursuits instilled in him a desire to maintain his flexibility, seeing it as the key to his youthful vitality. Initially, his yoga journey seemed straightforward, but as he delved deeper, Yogi Aaron encountered obstacles that led him to question the efficacy of his practice. Yogi Aaron's journey towards understanding and advocating muscle activation was ignited by his initial struggles and his relentless quest for a healthier and stronger body. His yoga retreat, Blue Osa (https://www.blueosa.com/), provides a blissful environment where his renowned teachings on muscle activation and applied yoga anatomy are absorbed by eager students, transforming their understanding and approach to physical well-being. His collection of authored works such as the engaging Autobiography of a Naked Yogi and the insightful Stop Stretching a New Yogic Approach to Master Your Body and Live Pain Free, have opened many eyes to his fresh perspectives on addressing chronic pain and living a more fulfilling life.
