Chris Young, Ph.D.: Email apnea, stress & yoga for every BODY!
Show Notes

Director of Workforce Development at the Texas Department of Transportation, Chris Young oversees employee development and training. Even though he identifies as a lifelong learner, Chris hadn’t considered yoga to be something he would do, until he unknowingly started a stretching routine after a back injury. Today, Chris still uses – and teaches, of course -- yoga to support physical recovery and manage stress. Learn how TxDOT employees have adopted a “flex and stretch” morning routine and how you can practice yoga for your fitness level, your own clothing and environment. Chris also shares how we can all use our breath to reset our nervous systems after we encounter “email apnea” and other stressful moments.
