He holds an AltMBA certification and is a certified CrossFit Coach. He strongly believes in the mind-body connection and is passionate about melding the worlds of physical and spiritual wellness in his teaching, coaching, and consulting. Adir loves hanging out with his wife Lauren, son Cal, daughter Nili, and dog Louie. In his spare time, he is a pop culture fanatic, huge St. Louis sports fan, and makes a mean cholent.
