Sandy’s BYTT Podcast, Every Episode is Relevant!

I just happened upon Sandy’s Podcast as a recommendation from Spotify. I have been listening to her podcast every day since Monday (November 7, 2022), and I’ve been listening to 1-3 episodes a day. Listening to the Podcast, I felt like Sandy was mind streaming all my thoughts and writing episodes on those thoughts. Sandy discusses meaningful topics that deliver insights and intentions about yoga. On Monday I started with Sandy’s more current episodes, so today (November 10), I started listening to the older ones. I got through 2, 3 and 4 while cleaning my house, and I learned so much. Sandy has valuable resources for all yoga enthusiasts, you will be happy that you listened.

A grounding & insightful resource for yoga teachers!

Sandy’s BYTT Podcast will help ground and steer you to hone in on your best qualities as a yoga teacher. Through her podcast Sandy’s insightful experiences spanning two decades of teaching combined with her natural ability and joyful personality to lead others in meaningful conversations. She introduces and explores topics that yoga teachers new and seasoned should be paying attention to, in order to enjoy an sustainable career and teach to the students they can best serve. I am an avid weekly listener and especially enjoy Sandy’s constant enlightening thoughts and encouragement to keep the emphasis on the teachings and to do the inner work for/and on ourselves in order grow or in Sandy’s own words, to EXPAND BEYOND! All episodes are valuable - begin from episode 1 but also go back an re-listen to the topics that resonate most because you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Sandy for sharing your gift and experiences!

As a former 300 hr yoga student of Sandy, I am delighted to have her podcast to continue and absorb from her wealth of knowledge. Whether her episode is with a guest or solo, it’s packed with valuable knowledge for the new, as well as seasoned, teacher.
