We were supposed to talk about the past weekends Coaches Intensive (sensational, I might add) but got hung up on Sydney food culture and cafe scene. Take it from a couple of foodies who also like to stay in shape.

Going deep on a particular training methodology is a rite of passage for any young coach. The danger is when we stick around this tasty fountain of truth for too long and neglect to look outside of where we’re at. Every culture has it’s dogmas, and if we want to develop a balanced perspective on anything, we need to be able to zoom out and asses our own dogmatism.

Kashi is a strength enthusiast who is sharing an ancient form of strength and conditioning from his mother country, Iran, with people around the world.  It’s known as Persian Yoga.  Now, before you make judgements about what that is, let me tell you it is starkly different from what we would call ‘yoga’ here in the west.  Kashi first appeared on the show back on episode 82 where he detailed how this system of strength was born from a culture at war for thousands and thousand of years.  Go back and listen to that if you haven’t heard it. It was a hell of an episode  It was an honour to have Kashi back in the gym today. We discussed all things strength, both of body and spirit, as well as the female-led revolution happening right now in his mother country, of Iran.  Visit the Persian Yoga website Persian Yoga Instagram
