Personal Health Journey and Align Method
The podcast episode starts with the guest, Aaron Alexander, discussing his personal health journey, which led him to develop the Align Method. He shares how he became interested in physicality and bodybuilding as a coping mechanism during a challenging period in his life. However, this imbalanced training resulted in chronic pain and injuries. Eventually, he transitioned into exploring different practices like yoga, jiu-jitsu, and manual therapy. The Align Method, according to Aaron, is a philosophy and toolbox for effectively inhabiting the body and achieving goals like flexibility, strength, and self-expression.
