**Yoga, Strength & the Modern Man: Reclaiming the Inner Warrior**
*with Dr. Catherine Cook-Cottone*
Think yoga’s just for bendy influencers and women in overpriced leggings? Think again.
One of the most unexpected habits of high-performing men — from elite athletes to top execs — is this: **they move their damn bodies to calm their damn minds.**
In this grounded yet powerful episode, Dr. John sits down with Dr. Catherine Cook-Cottone — psychologist, professor, and yoga badass — to unpack how embodied practices like yoga and mindfulness are changing the game for modern masculinity.
This one’s about dropping the outdated “tough guy” script and stepping into strength that’s present, peaceful, and *damn effective*.
We dive into:
– Why yoga and mindfulness are tools for warriors, not woo-woo
– How your body is your best emotional regulation device — if you know how to use it
– The truth about men and eating disorders (yes, we need to talk about this)
– Why balancing power and presence is the next step in male evolution
– And how men around the world are using embodied practices to become more resilient, grounded, and effective — at work, at home, and within themselves
