Strength, stillness & surprising benefits for everyday life.In this special episode, Coach Chris Wilson is joined by yoga instructor Jenn Witaconis, along with teammates Stephen Ohocinski Jr. and Lindsay Hurley, for a real and refreshing conversation about yoga — and why it might be exactly what your body and mind need. Together, they dive into the unexpected ways yoga has helped them manage stress, ease chronic pain, improve sleep, and even deepen their faith.Chris opens up about his initial skepticism and how years of lifting left him stiff, sore, and resistant to slowing down — until yoga changed everything. Jenn shares insights from her teaching journey and how breath, movement, and mindfulness create space for healing on all levels. Stephen and Lindsay chime in with their own experiences, from overcoming hesitation to making yoga a vital part of their weekly rhythm.Whether you are brand new to yoga or think it's “not for you,” this down-to-earth conversation breaks the myths and shows how anyone — at any age or fitness level — can benefit from the power of intentional movement. If you want to move better, feel better, and gain clarity in body and mind… this one is for you.  Time Stamps00:20 – Welcome to the Strong By Design podcast@00:53 – Join Coach Chris Wilson, Stephen Ohocinski, and Lindsay Hurley along with our special guest, Jenn Witaconis03:05 – How Jenn found her way to Critical Bench06:15 – Discover Jenn’s first dive into yoga15:16 – Top 3 game-changing benefits of yoga19:14 – Yoga trivia time: Surprising & fun facts21:20 – Understanding proprioception: Why it matters21:57 – Yoga styles uncovered: Which one’s right for you28:18 – Why it’s important to listen to your body31:03 – Yoga trivia time: More surprising & fun facts36:36 – Master your practice: Essential yoga tips to know42:46 – Real-life yoga: How the practice shapes daily living45:10 – Fun and memorable moments while doing yoga59:13 – Jenn’s black eye story: You won’t believe what happened1:02:37 – Practice with Jenn: Where to find her online1:06:05 – Please share and leave ratings & reviews for the SBD podcast! Resources:<a href='https://shop.criticalbench.com/collections/mobility-movement/products/easy-yoga-flow-for-beginners-digital'>Easy Yoga Flow for Beginners – Digital/DVD</a><a href='https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLISBJsjoM21SwuJWk_S25wII1MqO79gSA'>Yoga Follow Along Routines & Vinyasa Flows</a> Connect with Jenn:<a href='https://www.instagram.com/jennwitaconisyoga/'>Instagram</a> Connect with Chris:<a href='https://www.instagram.com/coach_chriswilson/'>Instagram</a> <a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2311482/support">Support the show</a>Connect w/ CriticalBench: <ul> <li><a href='http://www.youtube.com/criticalbench'>Youtube</a></li> <li> <a href='http://www.facebook.com/criticalbench'>Facebook</a> </li> <li><a href='http://www.instagram.com/thecriticalbench'>Instagram</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.criticalbench.com/'>CriticalBench.com</a></li> <li><a href='https://www.strongbydesignpodcast.com/'>StrongByDesignPodcast.com</a></li> </ul>
