Over the past few months, I've been having fun checking in with your favorite Fox personalities to find out who they are behind the scenes.
But, as you may remember, I promised to throw in some surprise appearances here and there.
What I wanted to introduce this week is: Ross RayburnPeloton instructor and physical healing scholar.
Ross has traveled to over 30 countries to teach and loves bringing people from different backgrounds together through yoga. As he states in his own bio, he encourages people in his classes to “bring out their true selves through movement and explore the strength of the human spirit in the process.”
He is also the author of the new book “Turning Inside: The Practice of Introversion for a Calm, Joyful, Authentic Life” (Hachette Go, January 9, 2024).
Read on to learn more about him and find out his great insights about life, yoga, meditation, and health.

Dana Perino speaks with Ross Rayburn, Peloton's top Texas-born yoga instructor. He says “it's never too late” to remember to take deep breaths. “When you remember, you remember, and the good news is that you start remembering sooner, sometimes too quickly before you remember,” he says. (Fox News)
Q: You were born in Texas, what is your favorite Texas food?
RR: I used to have Whataburger, but now I'm mostly vegetarian/pesca…so my favorite food is hummus.
But please shout Bluebell. I just don't like sweets.
Q: What are the best random accounts to follow on Instagram that always make you laugh?
RR: @dadsaysjokes.
Q: How do I remember the need to take a deep breath and turn inward to reset in the moment of need? In my case, I feel like I remembered too late!
RR: It's never too late. When I remember, I remember.
And the good news is that you start remembering sooner, and in some cases before you remember right away.
Q: Is social media harmful to turning inward if you're itching for a dopamine hit from scrolling or hurt by comments (especially from people you don't know)? Can we control the chaos within?
RR: There's a lot out there.
Let me say this: You cannot stop thinking. Even slow, refined, and seemingly still moments are noticed (and therefore considered).
“I aim to approach apparent tranquility and recreate that tranquility.”
Therefore, try to approach the apparent silence and aim to recreate that silence. And when it comes to social media, if it's harmful, it's destructive.
But if your relationship with it is mindful and you use it when it affirms you, relaxes you, or just provides an escape, then that time Record it as something useful and mindful, and use it later when you need it. And be aware of when it is harmful and try to reduce such behavior.
Ultimately, see if this method gives you agency and authority.
Q: You decided to write about — in a gentle way — political discord. What is the best advice to deal with this?
RR: please read my book.
Q: What are your top three simple tips for dealing with sadness, anger, and fear?
RR: The simple answer is that everyone needs to authenticate it skeptically themselves.
- For sadness, find something that evokes surprise (such as a sunset).
- Find ways to courageously serve your anger.
- In response to fear, find ways to generate genuine compassion.
Q: I titled my last book “Everything Will Be Alright” because I truly believe these words resonate with everyone. In your new book, you write that being told by your acting coach that it was okay was a turning point in your life. Tell me why it had such an impact on you.
RR: Sorry to avoid it, but this is such a good question that I would like to refer to the introductory chapter and then refer to “Turning Inside” in its entirety.
Q: If you could invite any celebrity or historical figure to your yoga class, who would it be and why?
RR: I would choose Jesus and Buddha. Then, after class, we discuss what we think about how we are doing today.
Q: If you were to organize a special yoga class for animals, which animals do you think would be the most enthusiastic about yoga?
RR: Of course it's a dog.
Q: Imagine you are assembling a team to participate in the ultimate escape room contest.Who do you want by your side? Add 3 names peloton instructor No matter your fitness field, we can join you.
RR: There are many choices, but if I had to choose three, I would say Tunde Oinein (a force of nature), Matt Wilpers (a problem solver), and Adrian Williams (I'll list more reasons in a short question) ) is.
