    Updating my review. I already loved this podcast. But “Yoga Radicalized Me” is the best podcast episode I’ve ever listened to. It’s incredible how much impact and meaning you put into 6 minutes. Truly amazing.

  • Excellent information!

    This is an essential podcast. I appreciate this as an instructor & practitioner. Pretty please ease off using the popping sound for transitions, it’s so aggressive for neurodivergent folks sensitive to sound. Your beautiful voice is enough. Too many sounds makes it hard to focus on the vital message. Keep shining!
