Rebellious Wellness Lifestyle
Podcast Description
Rebellious Wellness Lifestyle is for women over 50 who won't settle for the status quo on aging which includes multiple meds and fewer adventures.
Each week Greg brings you expert interviews, rants, and recommendations to help you live fully so you can age better.
Fake news about aging? Not here. Doom and gloom about what happens at your age? Girlfriend, please! How about proven health information that lives outside the mainstream media and always science based?
Why tune it? Because you know all about getting your steps and eating kale. It's time to talk about genetics, wearables, hacks, and hormones to name a few. And my podcast wouldn’t be complete without including what’s possible beyond the 5 senses.
Greg believes it's an act of rebellion to stand up for your right to choose conventional or alternative medicine, age appropriate clothes or your own combination of creativity and what feels good, and finally, to live without regrets.

In this episode of Rebellious Wellness Lifestyle, host Gregory Anne Cox speaks with Brea Johnson, founder of Heart and Bones Yoga. Brea shares her journey from traditional yoga instructor to creating a more inclusive, anatomy-informed approach to yoga that works for all body types.
Brea’s online, global community and class portal offers over 400 different classes, guided meditations, and live classes once a month.
Key Points:
- Brea has been teaching yoga since 2003 and experienced what she calls a “yoga existential crisis” about 10 years into her teaching career
- Heart and Bones Yoga combines biomechanics and anatomy knowledge with traditional yoga practices
- The approach focuses on building strength rather than just flexibility
- Props are celebrated and encouraged for everyone, not just as modifications for those who “can’t do” a pose
- Classes are organized by body focus (hips, thoracic spine, etc.) and energy level (relaxing, easygoing, energizing) rather than beginner/intermediate/advanced
- Online format makes yoga more accessible with shorter class options (10-20 minutes)
- The anatomy-informed approach acts as a “great equalizer” that works for different body types
- Heart and Bones offers an online yoga teacher training program
- Their approach includes strength training options with weights for bone health
Quote from Brea:
“Move with love. Move your body with love, move with love with your community and your people. What is moving with love for you? And maybe do more of that.”
I’m a big fan of yoga in its many variations and have interviewed yogis of many different persuasions. Yogi Aaron, for instance, insists we stretch too much and to our detriment.Kathy White has developed a type of asana that renews aging joints.
The key is to find what works for you. Brea’s no-pressure-to-be-bendy, work with the body you have and the way it feels when you arrive at the mat feels like a great place to start a practice or keep one going if the old way is no longer working.
