Your Daily Dose by KPTZ

We sit down in a San Diego park after yoga to talk honestly about getting stronger, moving with less pain, and rebuilding consistency after years of on-and-off exercise. • settling in with posture and breath before talking • reflecting on the asana flow and noticing real progress • starting fitness late and dropping the fear of looking “bad” • learning proper form after injury and valuing longevity • using health labs as a wake-up call to move more • finding a graceful message for people who feel stuck • “future you” mindset as the most reliable motivation • how yoga helps with tension, stiffness, and slowing down • coaching goal shifting from “get stronger” to “feel good” We teach yoga on Mondays and Wednesdays at a park in San Diego, California. If you want to know where, follow me on Instagram, trainwithsand.

We catch up with our friend Justin Avalos and follow his shift from chronic knee and foot pain to a full-on marathon mindset built through physical therapy, strength training, and stubborn consistency. We also get real about divorce, faith, depression, and why “run your race” can be the simplest way to survive a hard season and come out stronger. • a quick posture check and collective breath to settle in • how we met in the military and why we started creating content together • building endurance through time on foot instead of chasing pace • Justin's divorce and the moment he commits to a marathon promise • race-day reality: pain, dehydration, cramping, and finishing anyway • running as therapy and active meditation when life gets loud • beginner advice: start with a 5K, walk if needed, find community support • avoiding the comparison trap and focusing on your own pace Give us a like, subscribe, share it with someone, tell a friend that you got a friend, or you know a cool guy in San Diego, California, who hosts a podcast.

We recorded this one outside in the park at sunset, then started with the simplest reset that most of us forget all day: sit up, find your natural spine, and take a real breath. That’s the spirit of Your Daily Dose, a podcast about building a practice you can follow along and repeat.Yoga trains stillness, attention, and the ability to stay present when your mind is loud. We get into mulabandha, posture cues, and why breathwork and prana awareness can change how you move and how you think, especially if you spend four to six hours a day compressed in a chair.We also connect the dots from strength training to yoga philosophy. After years of personal training, kettlebells, powerlifting, sandbag work, and now a 5K and 10K running journey, we’ve learned the missing piece is learning to feel better as well. If you’re in San Diego and want to practice with us, we shout out our outdoor yoga sessions and how to find the schedule on Instagram.
