The Funny Thing About Yoga
Yoga and Functional Movement with Nam Chanterrwyn
Episode No. 13
In this episode Bradshaw and Giana talk with Nam Chanterwynn, a fellow graduate of Jason Crandell's 300 hour program and an established yoga teacher in his own right. Nam is based In San Diego, CA where he teaches full time locally, Virtually on Yoga International, and he also leads yoga teacher trainings and retreats around the world. From the beginning of this conversation, we learn that Nam is a natural overachiever and how a yoga studio challenge eventually led him down this new career path that he's made uniquely his own. As a student of Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), which we discuss in detail, Nam shares his interest in balancing out the vinyasa practice and teaching students to be skillful in It. This episode will provide context on Mobility, Stability, Strength and Flexibility as we discuss Active and Passive range of Motion at length. Of course we make space for funny tidbits around students reactions and competitive behavior for an equally informative and light-hearted conversation. Give this episode a listen and if you're intrigued, find Nam Chanterrwyn on Instagram or Yoga International and as always, let us know if you have any questions!
