The Funny Thing About Yoga
Things We No Longer Do as Yoga Teachers
Episode No. 18
In this weeks episode Giana and Bradshaw have a candid discussion about things they no longer do while teaching yoga. They discuss 15 changes they’ve made to their teaching practice in detail, share stories, and explain what they do do instead. This is an episode that truly embraces change and encourages growth. And of course It all begins with casual banter about their names, ways to get involved with the podcast, and a random tangent on Robin Williams and of course, death. They end just as strong, sharing stories about a dharma talk gone wrong and the most unwelcoming teaching experience and then another tangent about where they shopped in high school and Giana’s experience as a Long Island Emo kid. We appreciate your support and 5-star reviews, thank you for listening!
