Join yoga studio owner, yoga teacher, yoga therapist, and yoga non-profit founder Rebecca Sebastian for a water cooler discussion of what it is to work in the yoga world.

We will talk about our experiences, good & bad, connect with each other, share tips freely, and tell our stories.

Many years ago a yoga-teacher friend of mine said to me “the one things I don’t like about being a yoga teacher is there’s no water cooler”. And he was right. (thanks James).

So let’s use this podcast as our water cooler. This past year, especially, has been so hard for us. Let’s talk about it. Share our stories, our unique jobs, and a sense of community that we all need.

Want in? Take a listen.

  • What Nobody Told You: The Organizations Don't Actually Represent You.

    What Nobody Told You: The Organizations Don't Actually Represent You.
    Apr 6 2026

    Everyone told you to find your voice, build your brand, and develop your unique methodology. Nobody told you the order. In this episode, we talk about the sequence that the yoga industry never handed you — why you have to get better before you can get original, and why the pressure to skip that step is quietly crushing an entire generation of yoga professionals.

  • Do Higher Standards Actually Help Us? A Conversation with Steffany Moonaz

    Do Higher Standards Actually Help Us? A Conversation with Steffany Moonaz
    Apr 2 2026

    What good are higher yoga standards if teachers can't pay their bills? That's the question that sparked this conversation with researcher and yoga therapist Steffany Moonaz. Together we dig into what the data actually says about yoga training, student safety, and whether the industry's push for updated standards from Yoga Alliance and IAYT can coexist with building real economic viability for yoga professionals. We also get into the anatomy curriculum problem, the difference between a licensed healthcare provider who "knows a few poses" and an actual yoga professional, and whether higher education is the direction we're all heading—or just some of us.

  • The Quiet Transactional Culture of Yoga and Wellness

    The Quiet Transactional Culture of Yoga and Wellness
    Mar 26 2026

    In yoga and wellness spaces, we talk a lot about community, connection, and belonging. But what happens when those relationships start to feel conditional—or quietly transactional?

    In this episode, Rebecca explores the subtle shift from being in relationship to being useful in the industry. She unpacks the language of “collaboration” and “alignment,” the pressures of visibility and scarcity, and how businesses built on belonging can blur the lines between care and obligation.

    This is a conversation about relational burnout, consent in professional relationships, and what it might look like to rebuild community without extraction.
