#182: Jason Nemer - Inside the Magic of AcroYoga
The Tim Ferriss Show
The Dark Side of Acrobatics
The dark side of acrobatics can be when your body is an obstacle to your goal. But the reality that you've got your body for your whole life and how do you make these educated steps towards what you want? And this this comes back to the surrender component Which may sound very woo-woo To some people listening, so suck it up and take it We're not gonna get too crazy.
My guest on this episode of the podcast is Jason Nemer, co-founder of AcroYoga. Jason is an incredible character, who travels the world with next to nothing. He introduced me to my latest obsession -- AcroYoga. Along with Gymnastic Strength Training, I've been doing AcroYoga -- and I think about doing it all the time. AcroYoga is closer to partner acrobatics: Cirque du Soleil routine meets sensual-but-not-sexual contact. Even if you have no interest in doing AcroYoga yourself, there are many takeaways and recommendations in this episode that can benefit your life. And for those of you that are interested, we even do a couple of video demos, which can be found here. But don't feel like you need to step away from the purely audio experience of this podcast to follow along. Incidentally, the video was recorded at Creative Live, my favorite place to learn online. I've taken hundreds of courses there, but the one I'll recommend is Six Months to Six Figures by Peter Voogd. Enjoy the show!

It has exploded in popularity in the last two years and now has more than $2.5 billion under management. Why? Because you can get services previously limited to the ultra-wealthy and only pay pennies on the dollar for them, and it's all through smarter software instead of retail locations and bloated sales teams.

If you want to just take their advice and do it yourself, you can. Well worth a few minutes to explore: wealthfront.com/tim.
