What can the Olympics teach us about yoga, aging, and everyday resilience?

In this episode of The Youthful Older Yogi, I reflect on watching the Games — from childhood memories of dreaming big in front of a grainy TV to witnessing the triumphs and heartbreaks of today’s athletes.

Behind every podium moment is dedication, rebuilding, disappointment, courage, and the willingness to show up again.

And that spirit? It’s not reserved for Olympians.

It lives in you every time you:

• Roll out your mat
• Take a walk
• Recover from injury
• Move through grief
• Breathe with intention
• Try again

Because if you’re moving… you’re winning.

In this episode, I explore:

• What Olympic athletes teach us about resilience and long-term dedication
• Why some days won’t feel magical — and why that’s still practice
• The freedom of yoga: no judges, no timers, no performance reviews
• How to redefine “winning” after 50, 60, and beyond
• Why showing up — even imperfectly — is the real gold medal

You don’t need a stadium.
 You don’t need a podium.
 You don’t need to be perfect.

If you’re moving, you’re winning.
