But that doesn't mean that the show is any less important.
So I'll start out by asking you a question.
What happens when the thing that made you successful also happens to be the thing that starts to break you down?
Alexandria Crow knows something about achievement.
A former collegiate gymnast at the University of Arizona, she went on to build a highly visible career in the yoga world, teaching around the world, appearing on the covers of magazines, and becoming known for an extraordinary level of physical ability.
But beneath that success, her body was hurting, breaking.
And eventually, Alex was forced to confront some difficult questions, not only about the way yoga was being practiced and taught, but about the identity, the achievement.
The perfectionism.
And where we place our worth.
What followed was perhaps less a reinvention than a full blown dismantling.
Injury forced her to rethink her work, and a frightening health crisis challenged her sense of security.
Along the way, she began discovering that some of the pieces she once thought she had lost were actually preparing her for what came next.
Today Alex teaches teachers.
She challenges long held assumptions about yoga, about movement, and she helps others build careers that are both healthier and more sustainable.
Maybe most importantly, she's learned that failure isn't really failure at all.
Sometimes it's simply more information about whatever's coming next.
I hope you'll enjoy my conversation with Alexandria Crow in episode 166.
Let's get into it.
Greetings and welcome back.
