Yoga Teachers on the Edge

In this weeks episode we respond to some of the things that are taking you huns TO THE EDGE! We talk teaching in the heatwave and how we're managing that.

We also talk about Instagram and the t...

What does it mean to be a space holder or a leader in a class or in the Yoga space, versus simply being the teacher or instructor?

We talk intentionality, what it...

What's taking you to the edge i...
