On episode 705 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, Coach Allan welcomes Jeff Bailey, author of "Mobility for Life: Healthy Joints, Strong Bones, and a Peaceful Mind with Avita Yoga." Together, they dive into why mobility is so important as we age—and how it's not just about stretching or traditional yoga. Jeff shares his journey from a serious hip injury to discovering the life-changing benefits of Avita Yoga, a unique practice focused on restoring joint health, building bone strength, and finding peace of mind. In this insightful discussion, you'll learn the difference between flexibility and mobility, why many of us develop compensation patterns that wreck our movement as we age, and how targeting the joints—rather than just the muscles—can help prevent or even delay the need for joint replacements. You'll also hear about the importance of approaching movement with mindfulness and why peace of mind is Jeff's number one strategy for lasting wellness.
