28. #28: Jeff Percacciante sits down with Tori and Anthony to chat about ALL the things.

On Episode 28, we welcome our good friend Jeff Percacciante! Jeff has been working out alongside our community shortly after we opened up five years ago. Prior to that he started his journey with yoga, as an instructor, twelve years ago. He takes us through his childhood and young adulthood where movement started and continues to monopolize his time. To put that he even thinks that within the past nine years there has not been one week that he has not taught a class.

Start 10:51

3:00- A little bit on Jeff. He was very immobile for the first eighteen years of his life. Soon enough the social and mental issues he faced were starting to translate physically.

7:00 - 2009, he finally gets into yoga. As it stills remains to be one of the most constant thing in his life.

10:00 - If you think about it, we’re always trying to be smaller, especially women. Does it stem from being afraid that you’re not going to be loved?

20:00 - “I’m not flexible” and “I’m not strong” are the most common things coaches hear from new members. But in reality, if that’s what you want, that’s why you’re here. “There is no pre to showing up.”

15:00 - Nothing lasts forever. Weight loss is temporary.

18:00 - Careful complimenting.

22:00 - Just doing the work and all is coming. No, there’s so much more outside of the “thing”.

27:00 - Struggles with depression and marginalization, movement is one of the first things to go even though it can make it better.

30:00- life events can change your trajectory.

35:00 - Purple people. You could be either sad (blue) or angry (red).

43:00 - Mental aspects then connect with physical aspects with strength and perseverance.

48:00 - We don’t have to be afraid of gender stereotypes in fitness and emotions.

51:00 - We all have underlying biases. That come out as micro aggressions.

57:00 - Welcome modifications. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

62:00 - Can you control your destiny? Without intervention you can’t change. It’s uncomfortable. I need to do this because it’s course correcting me.
