Welcome to Episode 10 of Let’s Talk Yoga!
Join our today’s fun episode with Tejal and Jesal from the Yoga is Dead Podcast as we go back to their podcast’s first episodes, their experience recording them, and the feedback (or even pushback) they’ve received. We also chat about a whole range of topics from yoga teachers giving free lessons and students choosing yoga teachers & what they need to keep in mind. So whether you’re a student or a yoga teacher, or even if you’re just someone looking for a fun show to listen to, this episode is for you.

Yoga is Dead Podcast is a show created to talk about experiences with yoga in America versus yoga in India. It is a show to jumpstart critical conversations, elevate oppressed voices and perspectives, and to expose the problems felt by anyone who isn’t in the “in” crowd of the yoga industry.
