  • Yoga In India versus America in 2025
    Aug 17 2025

    After three weeks back in India, I’m sharing my fresh perspective on the yoga scene in 2025. From bustling rooftop classes to the deep sense of community in local shalas, yoga here feels refreshingly different from the West. I talk about how access has grown, what’s stayed true to tradition, and the small cultural quirks that make practicing in India so unique.

    Episode Highlights:

    • How yoga access in India has expanded dramatically since 2012
    • The cultural and practical differences between yoga shalas and studios
    • How Bengaluru’s traffic challenges create localized yoga communities
    • Typical Indian yoga class schedules and early start times
    • The rise of rooftop yoga as an affordable, accessible option
    • Minimal emphasis on style/teacher in class listings
    • Lack of online presence for many studios and its impact on visitors
    • Many yoga teachers in India teach part-time, balancing other careers alongside yoga instruction
    • Props, cleanliness, and community etiquette in Indian yoga spaces
    • The popularity of aerial yoga and the presence of chanting in every class
    • No liability waivers and a more trust-based approach to participation
    • The balance between independence and guidance in Indian yoga teaching

  • Non-violent Communication for Yoga Teachers with Judith Hanson Lasater
    Aug 10 2025

    While I’m still in India, I wanted to revisit one of the most meaningful conversations I’ve had on the podcast, with Judith Hanson Lasater on non-violent communication for yoga teachers. I chose to share this episode again after receiving a surprising email that made me reflect deeply on how we speak to our teachers, students, and each other in the yoga space. This conversation is a beautiful reminder of how Ahimsa and respect show up not just in our practice, but in our communication, especially in the hard moments. I hope it offers insight, grounding, and a fresh perspective.

    Episode Highlights:

    • What is non-violent communication?
    • Is NVC more significant for yoga teachers?
    • NVC is not for others but for us
    • How to engage with empathy?
    • Who is NVC for?
    • Where does violence start in communication?
    • Cancel culture in the yoga world
    • Should we respond to cancel culture in the yoga world?
    • NVC exercise live on the podcast about cancel culture
    • What are we giving our presence to? Why it matters?
    • How to ground ourselves & act from empathy
    • Difference between feeling & judgments
    • Clarity of intension
    • Updates about Judith's latest book
