Denny is a super smart and inspirational dude. Also very spiritual. Should be a great show. His only problem is his obsession with gyros.
Denny is wise beyond his years ..much respect !! :)
Indeed! It's always awesome having Denny on the show. He's got a lot more than just jiu jitsu to offer the world!Quote:

So one thing that really caught my ear in this interview was when Denny was talking about Yoga. He said something to the effect that he can almost heal injuries through his Yoga and meditation.
I would like to know more about that.
Can anyone chime in a recommend a book or something to get started on research? Denny?
I know there are a LOT of different types of Yoga out there, so I am particularily interested in the type that Denny finds so helpful. I don't want to buy the wrong book and waste time reading about the wrong type, etc.
Yoga haters: Please spare me from the Batman slapping Robin meme.
Great article about yoga from a good friend, Nic GregoriadesQuote:

Denny practices kundalini yoga. I'm sure he does a lot of yoga styles but kundalini is the one we spoke the most about.
Thank you very much for that!

Everyone saw Ricksons breathing techniques and thought, "I wanna do that!" :)Quote:
