In this episode of Rebellious Wellness Lifestyle, host Gregory Anne Cox welcomes Brea Johnson, founder of Heart and Bones Yoga. After teaching yoga since 2003, Brea experienced what she calls a "yoga existential crisis" that led her to create a more inclusive, anatomy-informed approach to yoga.
Discover how Brea’s unique method combines biomechanics with traditional yoga to create practices that work for all body types. Learn why she focuses on building strength rather than just flexibility, and how her online platform makes yoga more accessible with classes organized by body focus and energy level rather than skill level.
"Move with Love. Move your body with love, move with love with your community and your people." – Brea Johnson

Me? I'm a chill late 60-something, (very late), women's health coach, podcaster, wife, step mother, Gigi to 2 grand baby boys, 3 cats, 2 goats, and many chickens. Former pro chef turned entrepreneur. My current ventures include BeMoreMarketable, copywriting for coaches and Rebellious Wellness Lifestyle, where I host a podcast of the same name and write on healthy aging topics that mainstream media skips. I untangle the confusion around health trends and bust the myths around aging so common today--like "this is what happens at your age." What age is that I want to know!
