The Monthly Mettle Challenge continues. This month, it's all about yoga, but I hate yoga. It's time consuming, I'm not good at it, and it hurts sometimes. That said, I know it is good for me physically and mentally. Sometimes life is like that. If I want to grow, I need to do things intentionally that are difficult. This is the basis of the Monthly Mettle Challenge. Forging your mettle is an intentional act.

Join me as I discuss yoga with Coach Katie Gamby and my wife, Dana Thomann. Who knows, maybe you'll be inspired to strike a pose with us!
