39, yoga guide at Strala Yoga, degree in mind/body medicine from Harvard Medical School, New York, N.Y.
Fitness philosophy: Be easy in your body. This capability is something we practice in yoga, and it's invaluable to athletes in every category. The greatest athletes are always the ones who make the impossible look easy. It's the difference between winning and losing.
No. 1 pet peeve in the gym: Pushing and struggling. I think that's part of normal gym culture, but I don't think it leads to better performance. It just leads to stress and struggle.
Power song: "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Relationship status: Married
Celebrity crush: Tara Stiles (my wife). Or Maggie Q. She's pretty good at yoga too.
Favorite chick flick: Love Actually
