The Mission Position Podcast

Yoga. Strength. Longevity. Real Conversation.

 

A London-based yoga and strength training podcast exploring modern movement culture, yoga philosophy, ageing physiology, and the business of staying relevant — in your body and in your work.

 

Grounded in yoga. Expanded into load.

 

Hosted by Genny Wilkinson, co-founder of Mission in Shoreditch, this is a podcast for adults who train, practise and think.

The Premise

Yoga builds awareness. Strength builds capacity. Modern practice requires both.

 

The Mission Position podcast exists to explore what modern movement actually requires:

  • Strength
  • Philosophy
  • Load
  • Recovery
  • Context
  • Discipline

 

This is not influencer wellness.

 

It’s movement culture for grown-ups.

What We Explore

This podcast sits at the intersection of yoga, strength training, and longevity science.

 

Topics include:

  • Yoga philosophy: the Yoga Sūtra, lineage, discipline and transmission in modern teaching
  • Contemporary yoga practice for real bodies
  • Strength training for longevity and muscle preservation
  • Resistance training for women and men over 40
  • Nervous system regulation and stress literacy
  • Testosterone, oestrogen and ageing physiology
  • Perimenopause and menopause
  • Men’s health, recovery and ego
  • Protein, under-fuelling and metabolic resilience
  • Studio leadership, burnout and commercial sustainability

 

If you’re searching for a yoga podcast that talks about strength — or a strength training podcast that respects philosophy — this is it.

For People Who Practise and Train Seriously

For yoga teachers who know sequencing is the surface — not the substance.

 

For strength coaches who think beyond reps and sets.

 

For women navigating hormonal change without shrinking.

 

For men thinking about testosterone, longevity, and intelligent load.

 

For studio owners balancing purpose and payroll.
