My name is Josh Edge. I was born and raised in Alaska and recently moved to North Carolina. Prior to late October 2022, I’d never set foot in a yoga studio — and, frankly, never intended to. Growing up in hockey rinks across Alaska, Canada, and the Lower 48, then transitioning into more of a halflete once I hit adulthood, dabbling in other sports like weight training, powerlifting, mountain biking, and road cycling, yoga was never a consideration — from the outside looking in, it wasn’t intense enough. It wasn’t “manly” enough. Boy was I wrong.
