Episode 195 - Coasting, Toasting, Then Resetting: Kicking Off Super Clean January with Kristin McGee
This week on Wellness Junkies, Amy is back with favorite co-host Rachel Johnson of ah.mi to chat with the iconic Kristin McGee – celebrity yoga and pilates teacher, former Peloton coach, mom of three, and founder of the Kristin McGee Movement app.
Kristin shares how a random yoga class at Crunch led to MTV Yoga DVDs, a dream role launching Peloton’s Yoga & Pilates program, and what really went into her decision to leave a high-profile role and build her own platform while navigating divorce and single motherhood. She breaks down her “Flow • Sculpt • Connect” philosophy, why meditation is the ultimate anti-ager, and how short, stackable workouts can actually change your body (and your mind) over time.
We also announce something fun: Super Clean January with ah.mi x Kristin McGee – a four-week, approachable reset with strength, yoga, pilates and meditation to help you feel better after a very “coast and toast” December.
