Ujjayi breath is one of the most recognizable breathing techniques in modern yoga. It is often called “ocean breath” and is commonly taught in vinyasa yoga classes as the breath that carries the movement. But Ujjayi is also one of the most misunderstood breathing practices in yoga. In this episode of Let’s Talk Yoga, I […]

This episode is not just about the technical side of pranayama. It is also about what happens when life changes your relationship to the thing you teach. For me, losing my mother changed my relationship with breath. It made pranayama painful for a while. But eventually, it also made my teaching more honest, more human, […]

In today’s online yoga world, it is becoming harder to tell the difference between a yoga teacher and a content creator. Both may share yoga tips. Both may have beautiful videos, helpful posts, strong opinions, large followings, and online courses. But they are not always doing the same work. This episode of Let’s Talk Yoga […]

Hormones are something we hear about constantly. Cortisol. Estrogen. Thyroid. Adrenal fatigue. Perimenopause. And yet, very few yoga spaces speak about hormonal health with clarity, depth, or responsibility. In this episode of Let’s Talk Yoga, I sit down with Dr. Manasa Rao to explore how yoga has always understood balance within the hormonal body — […]

I’ve been deep in the trenches building my 300-hour online yoga teacher training, and in the middle of all that, something really important clicked for me about sequencing. I realized that as a yoga world, we may have built sequencing completely backwards. We often start with themes, peak poses, or class structures, but in doing […]

I’ve been deep in the process of building my 300-hour online teacher training, and today’s episode is a little different.

When I first started teaching, […]

As we step into a brand-new year, I wanted to begin 2026 with a conversation that feels grounding, honest, and deeply relevant to anyone walking the yoga path, especially teachers. This episode was recorded while I’m in the thick of creating my online 300-hour teacher training, and it’s brought up a question I keep returning […]

I’ve had a long, evolving relationship with inversions; a mix of curiosity, fear, ego, humility, and eventually clarity. In this episode, I’m sharing a deeper look into how I understand and teach inversions today, not as flashy peak poses or Instagram moments, but as intentional practices that require structure, patience, and nervous system awareness. This […]

I’ve been looking forward to this conversation with you because it’s one of my favorite parts of teaching: helping yoga teachers finally feel confident in the way they build their sequences. For years, I used to “wing it” in class: grabbing poses from YouTube, doing whatever felt good, or forcing a peak pose because that’s […]

I’ve been looking forward to sharing this conversation with you because it’s one of my favorite topics inside the Teach Smarter module of my 300-hour YTT. If you’ve ever felt stuck repeating the same physical cues, or you’ve wondered how some teachers create classes that feel profound while others feel purely physical, this episode is […]
