REAL MEN DO YOGA!
Meet Dr. Bill Harb.
Dr. Bill Harb is a partner at the Colorectal Center in Nashville and has been practicing as a colorectal surgeon for more than 20 years. He’s also a collector of University of Tennessee football memorabilia and, what I would call, a true Renaissance man. He has a curious mind and an incredible range of interests—and he brings that same curiosity to his yoga practice.
And yes… Bill does yoga.
Bill has been practicing with me for several months, and I’ve really enjoyed watching him discover what yoga can add to an already active and demanding life.
Our work together isn’t about becoming more flexible or mastering impressive poses. It’s about strength, balance, mobility, breath, and awareness—and learning to pay attention to how the body feels while moving.
Recently, we’ve been working with the idea of 5% less effort: not relaxing or doing less, but letting go of just a little unnecessary effort so the body can move more efficiently.
Bill has embraced that idea beautifully.
Yoga gives him a different kind of challenge. It asks him to slow down, be curious, listen to his body, and sometimes discover that less effort can actually produce better movement.
That’s one of the things I love about yoga. It meets us wherever we are and gives us tools to keep moving well as we move through life.
You don’t have to be flexible.
You don’t have to look like a yoga teacher.
And you certainly don’t have to be a woman.
Real men do yoga.
And Dr. Bill Harb is a pretty wonderful example.
