Your Daily Dose by KPTZ

In this episode of Your Daily Dose , I reflect on the importance of community, embracing change, and the people we choose to grow alongside. After the Fourth of July weekend, I found myself thinking about how people from completely different backgrounds can come together with a shared purpose. Whether it's a fitness class, a yoga practice, or simply a conversation, unity doesn't require...

We slow things down with a quick body check and simple breathwork, then we sit with a question that cuts through the noise: are you building a life you actually like, or are you just getting through the week? From there, we take an honest look at your “daily dose” beyond food: the media you consume, the conversations you keep, the music in your headphones, the podcasts you play, and the scroll tha...

Half the year is gone, and that can either spiral you or steady you. I’m choosing steady. From San Diego, I’m doing a simple mid-year check-in that starts where real change starts: your breath, your body, and a brutally honest look at how you’re actually doing. As I’ve gotten into my 30s, I’ve stopped believing that big life changes require big, dramatic moves. What works is small decisions that s...

A tiny human turns your life into a constant stream of decisions you never saw coming, and some of them land with a deadline. We sit down with Ana and Ritchie, parents of a nearly two-year-old and preparing for baby number two, and let the conversation go where real parenthood always goes: sleep traps, messy houses, and the surprising moments. We get into the practical stuff first, like the daily...

We start with a quick reset breath and a simple challenge that sounds easy until you try to answer it honestly: “What is you?” From our San Diego yoga practice and journaling habit, we (Luther, Deliz, and Myra) lay out three very different ways of moving through the world: the analytical listener who stays steady in chaos, the friend who becomes “the light at the end of the dark tunnel,” and the k...

Nothing derails a good day faster than a bad night, and we keep coming back to one simple rule that fixes more than people realize: go to bed on time. We talk through why "nothing good happens after 10 p.m." hits so hard; how sleep consistency affects your mood, learning, recovery, and immune system; and why most "night owls" are really just overstimulated by screens, caffeine,...

We sit down in a San Diego park after yoga to talk honestly about getting stronger, moving with less pain, and rebuilding consistency after years of on-and-off exercise.  • settling in with posture and breath before talking  • reflecting on the asana flow and noticing real progress  • starting fitness late and dropping the fear of looking “bad”  • learning proper form after injury and valuing long...

We catch up with our friend Justin Avalos and follow his shift from chronic knee and foot pain to a full-on marathon mindset built through physical therapy, strength training, and stubborn consistency. We also get real about divorce, faith, depression, and why “run your race” can be the simplest way to survive a hard season and come out stronger.  • a quick posture check and collective breath to s...

We recorded this one outside in the park at sunset, then started with the simplest reset that most of us forget all day: sit up, find your natural spine, and take a real breath. That’s the spirit of Your Daily Dose, a podcast about building a practice you can follow along and repeat. Yoga trains stillness, attention, and the ability to stay present when your mind is loud. We get into mulabandha, p...
