064: From Pro Athlete to World Class Yogi with Keith Mitchell

NFL All-Star Athlete Keith Mitchell #59, a former linebacker for the New Orleans Saints, Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars, found himself respected on the field for making record-setting defensive tackles and quarterback sacks. He was a modern day warrior, hero-worshipped by adoring fans and experiencing an elite earning bracket very few people in the world ever achieve. He was living the American Dream. And it all ended in a moment. At the apex of all of that success, a paralyzing tackle caused a spinal injury that ended his football career and forced him into the agony of retirement at only 31 years old.

WHAT WE DISCUSS IN THIS INTERVIEW:

HOW TO TRANSCEND THE SOCIAL CONDITIONING OF FEAR
THE HEALING PROCESS AND HOW TO TRAIN YOUR MIND TO OVERCOME CRISIS
REINVENTING OUR SELF IDENTITY & FINDING PEACE IN THE TRANSITIONS OF LIFE
HOW YOGA LITERALLY SAVED KEITH'S LIFE
WHY KEITH BECAME A VEGETARIAN AND HOW HE MAINTAINS SUPERIOR MUSCLE MASS ON A PLANT BASED DIET
WHY KEITH IS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT EDUCATING THE WORLD ABOUT YOGA AND MINDFULNESS
