The Captain's Lifestyle Podcast

151: Weight Loss Inspiration and Stress Relief through Yin Yoga with Jeff Lester

Nov 4, 2022
01:25:29
In this episode of the Captains Lifestyle Podcast, Captain Taylor Morgan is interviewing Jeff Lester, a Yoga Practitioner and coach who facilitates workshops and designs courses for the self development and transformation of human consciousness.

We are talking about how the Yin Yoga practice in particular changed Jeff's life and how Jeff went from weighing 300lbs, living with a victim mentality to becoming The Captain of his own life. We are going through his journey of leaving the traditional path of engineering to fulfill something more meaningful, how to invite your mind back during meditation and why giving is receiving.
