Today’s podcast is about one of my favorite topics: Yoga! Whether you are a seasoned yogi or just contemplating your first practice, this episode is packed with tips and inspiration. I’m chatting with Courtney Fox, a yoga teacher from Arizona. I can’t wait to take your class next time I’m in Scottsdale!
123: Yoga on and off the mat with Courtney Fox
Here’s what we chat about:
– Benefits of yoga and breathing for mental clarity and overall health
– Building, building and maintaining a yoga practice, plus tips for beginners
– Yoga is more than just a physical exercise. How to bring kindness, patience and lightheartedness from your mat into your life
– Balancing a yoga practice with a strength training routine
– Finding balance in a tech world + sample stretches you can do at your desk
+ so much more 🙂
Here is some more information about Courtney:
A native of Arizona, Courtney appreciates the opportunity to educate and inspire people in her hometown. She is a 500+ hour certified yoga teacher through Modern Yoga and has trained with some of the most experienced yoga professionals in the world. Her goal is to introduce yoga to beginners in a fun and beneficial way, so they can not only build a yoga practice on the mat, but transfer their practice off the mat into their daily lives to create a vibrant and healthy lifestyle. She enjoys bringing the community together by teaching at Diamondbacks Stadium, CIVANA Wellness Resort & Spa, Fashion Square Rooftop, festivals and lululemon.
As a former national competitive sports champion, Courtney understands the balance between effort and dedication. She quit her corporate job in 2015 to pursue wellness full-time. In her classes, she blends movement with breath, using unique, mindful transitions and insightful alignment cues while remaining light and inspirational. Courtney also prides herself on working one-on-one with students to strengthen their physical and spiritual practice to achieve their goals. When Courtney isn’t teaching, she enjoys helping her husband on his food truck or going hiking with their puppies, Leo and Hunter.

Always wanted to try Nutrisense? Now is your chance! I’ve been using this tool on and off for a year after finding out my fasting glucose was borderline high. It has allowed me to make simple changes in my routine and learn more about how my body responds to certain foods, stressors and habits.
Your blood sugar levels can have a significant impact on how your body feels and functions, and Nutrisense helps you analyze in real time how your body is responding to exercise, stress and sleep. It’s so empowering to see how your body is responding and make changes as you go. I also like to wear a Nutrisense CGM every few months as a reminder to focus on the habits that help me sleep, function, and perform at my optimal level.
