Welcome to Fit to Be Real and a little extra.
We are beyond excited for our special guest today.
He's gonna talk business owning, life, yoga.
We may play a game or two
and he's gonna teach Carly how to breathe.
So good luck with that.
I'm Victoria.
Hey guys, I'm Carly.
I'm a big fan of the game.
I'm Victoria. Hey guys, I'm Carly.
Is that wrong?
It's not yoga.
I will be learning about that today.
How to be more yoga.
And here's who we're gonna be learning that from.
So he's our new friend
and he owns a hot yoga studio
called EverFresh Yoga Studio in Havartown, Pennsylvania.
He's a Long Island native and a girl dad
and just like a really awesome human being
that I'm really excited to have this interview with.
His name is Tyler Kaufman.
What's up Tyler?
Hey.
Well, he says hello better than I do.
Yeah, that was a one take.
It was a one take only.
One take wonder here.
Thank you for having me.
I love it. This is gonna be amazing.
And you have three daughters.
Am I right?
I have three daughters.
And how old are they?
Five, 10 and 15.
Oh my gosh, you are a girl dad.
Yes.
Girl dad for sure.
Three daughters.
Do they do yoga?
My oldest does yoga sometimes.
Doesn't really take my class that often anymore.
My other two do yoga around the house.
I mean, they're five and they're younger.
Yeah, I get that.
Do they breathe better than Carly does?
I've heard Carly breathe.
Carly breathes pretty well actually.
You're lying.
I've heard Carly breathe.
I'm working on it.
I can hear people breathing class.
I'm really working on it when you're looking at me.
Well, when I sit on the ledge next to you,
that's how I can tell if you're breathing.
What did I say to you the other day?
I was like, oh my god, Tyler stood right next to me
and I was dying.
Well, if you're near the ledge and the class is packed,
I have to kind of go over there and sit down, which is a spot.
Well, I'm gonna debrief you a little bit.
I am new to yoga, Tyler.
I'm sure you know that.
Victoria's been doing it way longer than I have,
but she actually got me into it.
She was the one that said, hey, I think I think you need this
in your life.
So why don't you come with me?
And I love I mean, I love it.
It's something that I need in my life.
And I've been going, I think, what did we look it up?
I've been going to Tyler at EverFresh for almost a year in June.
How long has EverFresh actually been open?
We opened June of 21, June 5th of 2021.
We've been open for a year and a half, a little longer.
So how did you get into yoga?
I started practicing yoga almost 20 years ago.
Peace.
Yeah, it was a long time.
I was introduced by my girlfriend at the time, my wife now,
mother.
Her mother?
Her mother.
She was doing yoga at the place in Long Island.
And it was really mostly female, primarily.
And she came home and was talking about it and how difficult it was.
And I wanted to try it.
And so I went and from there.
I completely understand the getting hooked part.
After a week of classes at EverFresh, I was inquiring about the 200 hour teacher training
and then immediately signed up.
And it has kind of been history since then.
What made you want to open a hot yoga studio and become a business owner?
So we never had or I never had the plan initially.
So during the pandemic, my wife and I were looking when we moved here,
we were renting because we couldn't find a house to buy.
And then the market kept getting crazier and crazier.
And so finally we were like, ah, shit.
I mean.
You concur.
It's fine.
You be you, Tyler.
We were like, fuck.
Like the houses keep getting more and more.
Money.
You know, what are we going to do?
And we were waiting around like, so if you looked, if you were shopping for houses during
the pandemic, you were like outside around the corner, like 12 feet away from everyone.
And you waited to get into each house and people were just walking in with bags of cash
and offering.
Yeah.
So we didn't do that because we were just not going to buy a house.
Right.
So we said, OK, we're going to take some money.
Got it.
Put it into the studio, open up the studio.
So we did that.
Yeah.
So we opened up the studio.
The fun part about the story is the day we opened the studio, I think it was June 5th,
our realtor, who's awesome.
He said, hey, I have a really cool house that I think you would like.
And it's right up the street.
And it was like literally up the street from EverFresh.
So we went and saw it.
And of course we had like just, you know, put a lot of investment in time and time.
And EverFresh were like, oh, we love this house.
We want to buy it.
And so we wanted to find that house.
No way.
Yes.
So we don't have any money left.
So go to EverFresh.
Everybody buy a membership to EverFresh today.
Wait.
So you live right up the street from EverFresh.
Basically right up the street.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
Can you walk to work?
Totally.
That is awesome.
I don't frequently walk.
I know I like to.
I can walk and I don't either.
It's the same.
Yeah.
I could walk, but I don't.
So your wife does the what the office, the back at her name is Chelsea.
And she is the backbone, I would say.
I don't know.
Yeah.
So if you ask like if she was here, she would say.
She would probably say like I teach and I'm the face.
And the social media.
OK.
And then she does everything.
And she does everything else.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
She does everything.
Yeah.
How that's very similar to the setup that we have.
I am the face.
Carly has a face.
Correct.
I have one.
It breathes.
Now, how does it we know what it's like to be siblings working together?
How is it with the work life balance?
Hoting a business with your wife.
Yeah.
And then going home and talking about it.
Yeah.
Or not scheduled to not talk about business.
That's what we do.
We're pretty good about not talking about it all the time.
Because there's a lot going on.
I'm not that yoga.
Just listen to them.
I know you.
Instant calm when Tyler walks in.
I'm nervous.
Oh, I love it.
So yeah, we're pretty good about not talking about it all the time.
Although it does consume a large part of our life.
I mean, what we do talk about is that we're not talking about it all the time.
What we do talk about is the amount of laundry we have.
I know.
The amount of towels that we have to wash is absurd, which is actually funny because
this year so my wife's an accountant by trade.
She has an MBA.
Yeah.
She's very smart.
You started leveling up from day one.
She does math.
Yeah, she does math.
If listen, I do math too, though.
For those seat fitters out there.
No, that Tyler doesn't even know what he just unlocked.
We count to three very well.
And even then it's a crapshoot.
That's a crapshoot.
But do you know your left and right?
No.
No, Carly's at this way and in that way.
So in a yoga class.
That's good.
It's actually brilliant that you're on the correct foot.
Speaking of what would you give to anybody who hasn't tried yoga before or is intimidated
like Carly and I, I was intimidated to do yoga before I got into it.
Is there anything that you can shed a light on to kind of ease the anxiety over that?
Yeah, starting something new like yoga.
So I think the best advice I've been given is to take a class at home.
Oh, yeah.
And you find or I have found that many people started their yoga journey during covid at home.
So they'll come into the class and they'll be like, it's my first time in studio.
But I've done 2000 classes with yoga with Adrian.
I'm like, what yoga with Adrian?
And then I was like, OK, you're with Adrian's like just killing it, teaching everyone yoga
around the world.
And there's a ton of apps and a ton of places and people that do like zoom and all that jazz.
So people are, I think, more comfortable when they come into the studio and they've done
at least a class, but they don't have to.
I mean, I mean, I would never take a good idea though.
I would never have thought because I would think you would get annoyed or a teacher would
get annoyed if, say, they did it at home and you're like, yeah, but you're not doing it
right by yourself because, you know, I don't have you.
I can't correct you.
But that's but you're right.
They would feel more comfortable because they at least heard the words before.
Carly has a good time with the Sanskrit.
Hmm.
In Sanskrit.
No.
She doesn't speak English.
Neither.
At least not correctly.
Yeah.
So Carly is definitely more yoga fitness.
She likes the asana.
She likes the poses.
She likes getting that sweat and working her way into like a workout moment of the day.
Right.
That's why we make fun of her for truly it's a refusal to try to breathe.
It's it's refusing.
She's resisting 100 percent.
I prefer the mindful aspect of it.
And I do.
I think your classes are the perfect half and half of both.
Like the Wawa half and half.
Yes.
It's less than you with the Wawa.
I love a dollop.
A dollop of everything.
I don't know what a dollop is, but I'm with you.
OK, switching gears.
What is yoga to you?
So these are the questions that everybody, you know, spends a lifetime trying to define.
And I'll just use what others have already defined and add my little flair to it.
So yoga at the root word is huge or yoke, which is to connect.
And that's what it means.
And I think you can take that word and place it on a a million different things,
whether it's mind and body or breath and movement or connections or relationships with yourself.
Others, universe.
Yeah, to connect.
I would agree.
I'll accept that answer.
Awesome.
Glad you prove.
I'll prove.
Because if somebody were to ask me why you like yoga, it's because I like going
well, one to your class and I like going with you.
And that's like our community.
Yeah, I like your community that you've created at your studio.
Thank you.
I'm glad you're part of the community that comes to the studio.
Very connected.
Karlie, what do you connect with?
Going with you.
And I love going to Tyler's class.
No one believes you.
Stop right there.
I know.
And believe I never miss a Thursday unless I have to.
I actually enjoy slowing down even.
I'm the queen of cardio.
I jump up and down for a living.
You know that it is very hard for me to slow down and breathe.
That's why she's making fun of me, but it's the truth.
I can't I can't do it.
I'm trying to get better at it.
I'm trying to slow down and yoga for me is that one hour out of my week where
there's no kids.
I'm not thinking about my next class.
I'm not the teacher and I love not being the teacher and I actually love not
knowing what I'm doing.
Do you know what I mean?
No.
OK.
I love learning something that I'm not good at.
Like I'm not going and being like, oh, yeah, yeah, I know that or I know this or oh, I
should be doing this or somebody else should be doing this.
I don't know what's right and what's wrong.
Right.
I love that Tyler tells me that or you know what I mean?
Like not being the teacher and it not being in my wheelhouse.
That's why I love yoga.
Stepping out of your comfort zone.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah, I agree.
I mean, and Tyler had me at Ben Platt.
On my first class with you, you played Michael Jackson and Ben Platt and I was like done.
So we need to paint.
I knew you were coming.
He's intuitive as well.
I did.
Once you get to that level, you can sense what people like music wise.
It's not the bopping and down dog that I do or like the singing.
Oh my gosh.
We got a painting picture here.
For all of you at home of Tyler.
Tyler sounds very calm and he is and he.
Do I sound very calm?
You are super calm.
I feel calm.
I feel like I'm putting these headphones on.
I feel calm that you're here.
Yes.
And he's a vibe.
He's a presence in the room.
Must be the oat milk.
He puts on jams.
His playlists during class are amazing.
You are going to put listen to like Biggie and Tupac in the middle of your yoga class.
All right.
I don't even think they're that good, but I appreciate you.
No, they're good.
Telling me how good they are.
Oh, I love them.
I mean, you had me at day one with your playlist because that's musically driven anyway.
So I was like, man, he's good.
Anyplace good music.
I said that to her.
I was like, you've got to try this yoga class with me.
And she gave me the eye.
She gave me the like, I don't know.
And I was like, he plays killer music and she was like, all right, sign me up.
I'm wearing my ever fresh sweatshirt right now.
Sure is.
She has a lot of ever fresh.
It's very swag.
Swag.
Very swag.
Love it.
We're going to play a little game called Tyler on the spot.
All right, Tyler, I'm going to put you on the spot right now.
You do not know what we're about to ask you.
OK.
If you were able to do yoga with anyone dead or alive, who would it be?
I'm not going to say that.
Anyone dead or alive, who would it be?
Practice yoga.
Good question.
I would just say I would do it with everybody at EverFresh.
Oh, that's a good answer.
No, I love that answer.
Perfect.
There you go.
That's an answer I would probably.
I'm glad I waited because I wasn't sure who to answer.
No, that's such a good answer.
That's so nice.
What a.
That's so nice.
This might be a little hard, but I feel like you can do it.
What's the most memorable thing someone at EverFresh has ever told you or a client
has told you that stuck with you?
Right before I opened the studio, the advice was.
Regardless of what happens at the end, when loser draw, you'll be better off after the ride.
Oh, yeah.
Well, now I'm feeling like what advice did we get?
Good luck.
We got good luck.
Why are you doing this?
Oh, I got a lot of advice that was extremely not so supportive because we did open a yoga hot yoga hot
breath yoga studio right after the pandemic.
Oh, my God.
So that was a pretty wild time to open something like that.
Yeah.
Where you can't use masks because you have to breeze.
Oh, yeah.
Well, people were using masks.
I actually taught yoga during the pandemic and I did wear a mask and some of the classes were
heated and it was very difficult.
And I was sweating with a mask on teaching yoga.
I know that's we had to do that a lot and that is super hard.
Yeah, but we didn't do it in 100 degree weather.
No, no, we did not indoors and like focusing on creating hot breath in front of your face.
Yeah.
The Praniyama doesn't really feel as exciting with the mask on.
But, you know, it was par for the course at the time.
So we did it.
Praniyama is breathwork.
Oh, I'm so Praniyama.
I don't know if you can be Praniyama.
Can you be Praniyama?
You can be whatever you want.
Tyler is yoga.
I know.
I'm definitely not yoga.
I am trying to be cool or Satva, Satvic even Sanskrit.
I got I got that one.
You know, especially because then you probably experienced this just dealing with public.
So you get all sorts of feedback.
Get everything.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
It's it can be tough at times.
That actually brings me to my next question, which was how do you feel about being a teacher?
A business owner, a social media content creator, a receptionist, like it.
It's your janitor.
Yeah, janitor.
You're not just going in and you're teaching it, you have to be and you have to take
experiences like that and not let it affect you because it definitely affects us.
Are you enjoying it after your year and a half?
I love it.
You do.
You love it.
Yeah.
It's a lot of fun for me.
Just an immense amount of towels for some reason that constantly have to be brought there.
I mean, it is hot yoga.
Yeah, I don't know why there's so many towels.
And you're doing it right.
Yeah, you're definitely doing it right.
Thanks.
I also don't do any of the payroll.
Chelsea does that.
Actually, I participate because she just tells me who to Venmo.
And yeah, well, that's a very big deal.
Like I don't we don't deal with the emails.
My husband does all of them.
Yes, because I feel that it's uncomfortable for us to deal with the money.
And when you're getting up there and about to teach and somebody's complaining about money
or asking questions, I try to remove us from that situation.
And so my husband will respond to those because he's a little more business
and we're a little more leading it with our hearts.
So if somebody asks us, we'll be like, yeah, sure.
I'm also of the belief that if you make everyone happy within reason,
you know, you're doing a good job.
Yeah.
Not every time will everyone be happy.
But I'm like, all right, this one time I'll make this person happy.
OK, I'll do that.
That's interesting.
Yeah.
My belief is that the yoga studio is supposed to be there to support people.
And so a lot of times that means going in the opposite direction
of what a typical boutique fitness studio does.
And that doesn't mean what boutique fitness studios do is wrong.
Right.
Actually, some many yoga studios do that.
But I choose not to.
For anyone who hasn't been to EverFresh, where is EverFresh?
It's in Havartown on Darby Road.
Yep.
Corner Darby and Eagle.
There we go.
2333 West Darby Road.
It is the coolest yoga studio.
I just love the vibe.
Like you walk in and it feels very friendly.
You walk into a lobby area where you put all your stuff and it's super chill.
And then you slide those doors open.
And it is a blast of heat.
And it's the best feeling is the best feeling.
Thank you.
I think sometimes the lobby is my favorite part, actually.
Really?
Yeah.
That's nice to hear.
Like talking to people and greeting.
Yeah, because you're sitting in the lobby and people hang in the lobby or talk in the lobby.
And then in the studio, once you go through the doors, it's blast of heat.
And most of the time, blast of silence.
Like everyone job.
We're at the yoga studio.
See, I love that.
Well, I can confidently say that it is a space that I feel very comfortable in my practice,
in my new practice and exploring some of the level up options for binds and twists and balances
and stuff like that.
Carly doesn't really level up as much.
She's a little bit, you know, afraid.
I enjoy yoga.
Carly is doing all of the challenges.
So like when I say fired up, she's like, oh, I want to fire it up.
And so she does all of those things.
And then when we turn towards the mirrors, she flexes.
But that sounds so accurate.
That's very me, Tyler.
You you pinpointed me.
We don't have any mirrors.
She's just flexing.
Just kidding.
Oh my God, I love it.
I would assume, not knowing and being in your head, that you are afraid to level up
with some of the options to add a bind or flip dog.
Carly could do it.
I know she can.
She's afraid to do it.
Do you have any advice for people that are in class and have that barrier that they give themselves?
I like when people listen to that barrier.
So I wouldn't say push it, but maybe try your house.
Oh, yeah.
It's a good idea.
Or try after class with your sister.
Yeah.
Or me.
That's a really that's a really good tip because I would say, I would say,
I should try it at my house.
OK, I think it's time, Carly.
All right, Tyler.
Yes.
We're going to play a game with you.
You have to pick one or the other.
And we're either going to say, Namaste, we do not agree with you or Namaste.
Yay, we agree with you.
All right, are you ready?
Wow, or 7-Eleven.
What state are we in?
Can I do that or no?
Because depending on the state, it's a it's a clear Pennsylvania.
Then I'll go to wow, because the 7-Eleven in Pennsylvania are just whack.
Namaste.
Just you would go with 7-Eleven.
I don't know.
I got to go with 7-Eleven.
I don't know, I got confused.
This is going great.
This is what happens when I go to the restaurant too.
Every time.
Child's pose or downward facing dog?
Definitely a down dog.
Yay, she knew you were going to say that, by the way.
Can we tell you why?
Yeah, tell me why.
This will get some, if you have yogis that listen, they may be like,
I don't like Tyler's view on child's pose.
Or maybe they're like, oh, I like Tyler's view on child's pose.
And I cue child's pose, but only in the beginning class.
Yeah.
So down dog opens up your diaphragm and you have more basically room to breathe.
Child's pose doesn't.
And so it's great, but like, doesn't really give you room to breathe.
And we want to breathe.
Remember?
Yeah, I'm learning.
Yeah, you're breathing.
Yeah.
New York angry or Philadelphia angry?
Definitely New York.
I don't even know what Philadelphia angry is.
What does that even mean?
I mean, they're a hoagie.
It's always up shit.
Ben Platt or Trevor Hall?
Definitely Trevor Hall.
No question.
Namas net.
Ben Platt all the way.
Ben Platt, if you're like on Broadway, but Trevor Hall, if you're like chilling,
you know, I mean.
One answer, Tyler.
You got one.
What state are we in?
Carly likes to Keela.
I like Jen.
Those are the choices.
I'll go with Tequila.
I mean, Namas.
Yay.
Power yoga or slow flow?
I hate both of those names.
I made them up, Tyler.
Namas.
No.
OK.
Yeah.
Smart watch in yoga or no, who cares?
I try to hold my opinions on smart watches in yoga back.
But yeah, that's a that's a Namas net.
I love it.
Woohoo.
Indian food or Mexican food?
Ooh, that is tough.
That's the tough one.
That is tough.
Oh, they've all been tough.
No, that's really tough.
So here's what I'll say.
Like good Indian food, not like Tiffin,
like good Indian food made by someone who knows how to cook all day.
Otherwise, next.
So both Namas, yay and nay.
Yogas sing along or corpse pose?
I'm not sure what a yoga sing along is.
It means can Carly sing during yoga is that cool?
Totally.
Yep.
But I like corpse pose too.
But she could totally sing there and yoga if she wanted.
Namas in between.
Yeah.
You won, Tyler.
You won.
I won?
Yeah.
I'm laughing, but I don't know what that means.
I just can't believe how not easy that question came.
So I love the breath part.
I think I've said that before.
I love the breath part of yoga.
It's calming for me and it's something to focus on to kind of stop
my mind.
Carly.
Carly is not a breather, as we've stated a million times,
but there's a reason my breath work is important and pranayama is a thing.
So I just kind of want everybody to hear why it's an important part of yoga from you
and your perspective since you're like the yogi.
Well, I appreciate the vote of confidence there, V.
No pressure, but there's definitely a big spectrum
or a range of just knowledge about the breath.
And from my teaching, which is not so expansive, but I think I have a good foundation,
I'll start with just the breakdown of the word.
So pranayama, prana is also known as energy or life force.
And in yoga, your prana, there's different types of prana,
you know, is a big part of how you create your connection to your body and your inner
or outer energy.
And then yama is means restraint.
So when you put the two together, you're actually saying life force restraint or energy
restraint.
And although it's breath work, a lot of it has to do with that space between the inhale
and the exhale.
And, you know, when your body doesn't have any oxygen in it,
and then when your body has a ton of oxygen in it,
and the process of kind of bringing that oxygen in and then letting that oxygen travel through
your body and then releasing that oxygen is very cleansing.
And one of the prop, one of the main purposes of yoga is to cleanse the body.
I, like many other people, have a very hard time with that concept.
Why?
Like what part of that concept?
It's hard to take the time to relax or not even relax because...
Let's try it right now.
Yes!
Tyler!
Yes!
All right.
Teach me to breathe.
So you don't need to be taught.
It's an involuntary action.
You're breathing right now.
Or else you'd be dead.
And what's really cool is your body has, you know, really old processes.
Not that old.
No, not you, not you specifically, but coming down from all of your ancestors that have
given you these amazing tools to protect your body so that if you were to pass out,
your body starts to breathe.
So you're going to breathe.
Okay.
You're breathing right now.
I am.
I'm a little bit holding my breath because I'm nervous.
So sit up nice and tall.
I'm going to do it too.
Think about a tall spine, but not stiff.
Maybe close the eyes or soften the gaze.
Take a big breath in through the nose and open mouth, exhale at it out.
Again, inhale.
Let it go.
And now seal the lips and begin to breathe in and out through the nose,
sending the breath into your low belly.
On your exhaled.
Think about drawing your belly button towards your spine and squeezing the
oxygen out of your body.
We still holding our breath.
All right, let's try again.
Try again.
I'm going to breathe in through the nose.
All right, let's try again.
All right, so maybe he was right.
Let's try it one more time.
Maybe you were right.
He said, I'm just kidding.
Guys, do this with us because it will work.
It will work.
You will hold your breath.
It's magic.
Oh my God.
Okay.
Try not to smile because when you smile, it kind of takes away from some of the.
Yeah, I hate smiling.
Yeah.
Get it together.
All right.
All right, big breath in through the nose.
Okay.
Exhale, side out the mouth.
One more, just like that.
Big breath in.
Exhale.
Continue to breathe in and out through your nose, sealing your lips.
And maybe you can strict the back of your throat on the inhale and on the exhale.
And on your next inhale, think about sending your breath from the base of the nostrils all
the way down into your low belly, pushing your navel towards me.
And then your exhale, squeeze the belly button towards the spine.
So there's no oxygen left.
Immediately release the abdominal muscles and breathe deep in through the base of the
nostrils, feel the oxygen and through the body.
Sometimes it's cold.
And on your exhale, start to curl the belly button up and in underneath the rib cage.
Continuing here, starting to stack the breath, send the breath from the nose all the way
down into the low belly, bringing it into the lower part of the body.
And into the lower part of the lungs, so the low ribs start to expand.
Maybe draw the elbows in towards the rib cage, slight tuck of the chin.
Continue to breathe deep in through the base of the nostrils and stack the breath
from the low belly to the low lungs into your heart center.
Maybe the clavicle starts to rise.
And then intensify the exhale, draw the belly button to the spine, squeeze all the oxygen out,
curl it up and in underneath the rib cage.
Last big breath in, fill the entire body.
You have so much oxygen, it's uncomfortable.
Take another sip when you can't take any more and hold the breath.
When you're ready, open mouth side out.
Big inhale.
Big exhale.
Great job, Karlie. You just breathe.
You did it, guys. I'm alive.
Do you feel calmer?
It is actually crazy when you don't think about anything else and you just focus on breathing.
One, how hard it is. It's hard.
And two, it just brings you down.
Instantly brings your whole body down because you only are focusing on breathing.
In a state of relaxation.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, no, no. Not like Debbie Downer.
It's very hard, though.
And I think that's my hesitation with it. I got to work on it.
Sure. So do I.
But think about doing that in moments of high stress or a reactive moment and you end up
breathing first and then making a response.
Like it changes the game of how you act from now on.
How much do we owe you for that free breath work class that you just gave us?
It's on the house.
I also think you you're not giving yourself enough credit.
So people don't realize how much you know about the breath.
So you have children. Hey, Dean.
He's in the other room.
Dean's here.
I know probably in many situations you've used breath to calm yourself down or maybe a child.
I think childbirth.
When you're child or when your friend or anyone's freaking out, you're just like,
take a breath. Yeah.
People don't know why they say that.
But it's just a process that makes you feel better.
That's so true.
You're sympathetic and your sympathetic nervous system.
It helps you calm down.
All that good stuff.
How many times have we said, oh, my gosh, take a breath.
Just take a breath.
I say to you all the time.
You should take like 10.
Wow.
Thank you, Tyler.
I think you just changed the rest of my life because Carly's going to chill out.
I'm so glad Carly's going to chill out.
I'm just kidding.
We want you to be super hype.
No, listen, I need, I'm very high, strong.
Oh, yeah.
High, strong.
You and me both.
So I think maybe you've tried to say this to me, but it's,
it hits different when Tyler tells me.
Sure does.
I'm doing the best I can.
Breathe, Tyler, just take a breath.
I heard somebody tell me that once.
I think it's time for the real tip of the week.
We're going to call this fire it up.
It's a Tylerism.
You'll hear him say it a lot in his classes and it really gets you to activate and engage.
And it's one of my favorite things that he says.
So let's fire it up.
Try a yoga class if you haven't already tried one.
If you're intimidated, if you really want to just jump in and you've always been thinking
about it, but you're a little bit scared to try something new, try it.
Go do it.
If you've already gotten into your yoga practice, then try something new,
something you haven't explored yet.
Get out of your regular routine and spice up your creative flow or your comfort zone.
And when do it with a new experience, so fire it up.
And now for the real extra tip of the week.
It's called Namaste.
Hey, what does Namaste?
Hey mean?
It means grab a buddy.
The buddy system is amazing for new experiences.
If you're a little timid like I am with new things in general, yoga, any class, any experience,
it's so much easier to go with a friend.
The little fear that you might have will easily be gone when you bring that buddy to your new experience.
So Namaste, hey everyone, grab a friend and get to it.
Well, Tyler, thank you so much for coming today.
I feel like I feel a little bit better about getting into a yoga class.
Do you feel a little bit better?
Oh, yes, of course.
We'll see you tomorrow morning then.
I'll drink two cups of coffee before I even see you.
Same.
Yep.
No way.
Yes, way.
Definitely.
I'll drink one like before I leave the house and then one at the studio as I'm prepping.
Yeah, I.
It's healthy.
It's very healthy.
I support that.
Lots of caffeine.
That's then.
Yeah, that's then.
That's then.

Thank you so much.
Are you going to come back?
I will definitely come back.
Should we start over?
Sure.
Thanks, Tyler.
Thank you.
