From playing in the NFL to guiding and teaching breathwork around the world, Big Joe has not only a fascinating story to share but also a powerful message that can help you with stress, creativity and mindfulness. 

Born and raised in California, Joseph Fauria (aka Big Joe) began his yoga practice in 2009 while playing football at UCLA before playing in the NFL. 

After 4 years in the NFL, a severe ankle injury altered his life’s course and ended a lifelong commitment to the sport. Anxiety & depression became frequent combatants to a once joyous and purposeful existence, and Big Joe knew he needed to bring meaning back into his life. 

In 2018, Big Joe embarked upon his spiritual journey, which eventually led to adding meditation and breathwork into his daily practice. 

We hope you love meeting Big Joe as much as we loved chatting to him.
