Yoga Alliance has announced big changes to its credentials. The 200-hour and 500-hour designations are going away, and teachers will now be listed as either RYT or E-RYT. Many yoga teachers have strong feelings about this, and Jason does too.

In this new episode of Yoga(ish), we talk through the changes simply and honestly.

Then it’s on to the fun stuff: we took a family trip to Italy and we share all about it -- how we fell in love with Rome, celebrated 18 years of marriage, visited the charming region that Andrea's grandparents emigrated from, food that left us speechless, and the pure joy of watching our daughter thrive in ways we never expected.

How do you fit yoga, resistance training, and cardio into a real week — without burning out or dropping one of them entirely?

That’s our topic this week — not in theory, but with specific days, durations, and honest personal experience of what actually works for me and Jason.

The short version: yoga alone isn't enough. Cardio alone isn't enough. Resistance training alone isn't enough. But the three together — even in modest amounts — create a movement practice that is balanced, sustainable, and genuinely good for your body long term!

Is yoga enough? It's one of the most debated questions in the wellness world — and honestly, it's the wrong question. Yoga has specific strengths and specific limitations. The most useful thing we can do as practitioners and teachers is understand both — clearly and without defensiveness. That's what this episode does. We look at what yoga genuinely does brilliantly — and where it falls meaningfully short. Not to diminish yoga, but to add complement it with additional strength-training as a modality.
