Getting Your Mind and Body on the Same Page with Sam Gach Yoga | Better Man Podcast Ep. 007

Sam Gach is a fitness creator, entrepreneur, and stretching & flexibility coach dedicated to making the world a calmer, stronger, more flexible place.

Yoga and fitness has changed Sam’s life for the better, in ways he couldn’t dream of. Now, he’s spilling the beans to help as many people as possible learn how to take care of their bodies, as well as their mental health. Over the past few years, Sam has built a community of thousands of people that support each other in their efforts to be more flexible, strong, and mentally resilient.

Yoga and movement have been a saving grace for Sam in times when he was struggling with severe stress and anxiety. He had to make some tough career choices, but he chose to work through his problems instead of running away from them. Since then, he’s been on a journey of constant growth, both physically and mentally.

I’m talking to him today because he’s not your average yoga teacher. He knows that there’s more to life than building a strong physique and that men need to also take care of their emotional and mental wellbeing.

Sam has built his life around trying to be the best version of himself. He’s here to show the rest of the world how to do the same thing, one down dog at a time.
