Adventurous, cozy and fun!

Todd is a natural at bringing out the magic in his guests. As a listener, he makes you curious to learn, leaving you easily binging for more. His questions are interesting and he knows exactly how and what to follow up on as if he was reading your mind.

I find these podcast episodes very informative and Todd asks questions I’m curious about as well. It’s a great podcast to learn more about different aspects of yoga. Highly recommended!
