They explore how these complementary forces shape their personal and professional experiences, emphasizing the need to harmonize rest and activity. From the pitfalls of overly Yang-focused fitness trends like 75 Hard to the transformative power of embracing Yin energy, the coaches share candid insights and examples from their journeys.
