In this special group conversation, Reika is joined by fellow certified SmartFlow teachers June, Bianca, and Dre to reflect on our shared path under the guidance of Annie Carpenter. Each of us shares our personal journey into the world of SmartFlow Yoga: a method of yoga developed by Annie Carpenter —what initially drew us in, why it felt like “home,” and how Annie’s rigorous, thoughtful, and deeply intelligent approach to yoga continues to shape our teaching and practice.

This episode is the first in a two-part series dedicated to unpacking the impact of SmartFlow Yoga on our lives. From the challenges and rewards of the certification process to the growth that comes from ongoing mentorship and community, this is a heartfelt and honest conversation for anyone curious about the SmartFLOW method of practicing and teaching yoga.

Whether you're new to SmartFlow, never heard of SmartFlow, or have been practicing it for years, this episode offers insight into the beauty of dedication and the lifelong journey of teaching yoga.
