My go-to for yoga inspiration

I love this podcast, and am a long time listener. Andrea is such an insightful interviewer and I enjoy the diversity of subjects she chooses. I love the ones with Jason—I appreciate the detailed anatomy (I teach pilates too) and like how he applies it to yoga. But I also get so much out of the other yoga leaders Andrea chooses. The most recent one with Dianne Bondy was particularly inspiring. I look forward to each episode. Thank you for being consistently excellent!

heidiway ,

Yes! Definitely Listening!

This is an excellent podcast for yoga teachers, practitioners and enthusiasts! I am a yoga teacher who has fallen off her mat, looking for inspiration and this is it!

Yoga in Balance ,

Inspiring podcast, consistently fascinating even though I don’t agree with everything.

I look forward to every release and the questions that arise and topics covered. Clarifies my own thinking as a very long time teacher of adults and yoga teacher. Have you acknowledged or talked about Rama Jyoti Vernon as one of the co-founders of Yoga Journal? Dr. Lasater, as much as I respect and admire her, is not the only founder. Honesty.
