In this episode, Rosalind takes the position of the everywoman yoga teacher, interviewing Mark Whitwell on a lot of the questions and concerns people have as yoga teachers in our modern yoga scene.
Rosalind and Mark Whitwell discuss:
- The initial habit to put teachers on a pedestal and how we undermine it.
- What is “the Mick Jagger effect”?
- Dealing with the embarrassment of being associated with the ‘yoga industrial complex’ and fear of not being able to give people what they have been led to believe yoga is.
- Do people really want their breath? Do they want intimacy? Or just stimulation?
- Toxic positivity and "yoga speak" in the yoga industry
- What is the “yoga teaching voice”?
- What does it mean for a yoga teacher to be ‘vulnerable’?
- Is charging for your yoga classes bad?
