In this episode of The Full-Time Yoga Teacher Podcast, Reika sits down with Giana Gambino and Bradshaw Wish, co-founders of CAYA Yoga School and hosts of The Funny Thing About Yoga podcast. Based in Chicago and San Francisco, this dynamic duo has crafted a full-time teaching career that blends humor, joy, structure, self-inquiry, and self-care.

They dive deep into what it actually takes to teach yoga full-time, from managing burnout and setting boundaries, to creating an ideal teaching schedule and honoring teaching style that is true to thema . Giana and Bradshaw share how they balance teaching group classes to running international retreats, leading teacher trainings, hosting a podcast, and building a business that honors yoga’s roots while making space for laughter and growth.

Whether you’re an aspiring teacher or long-time practitioner, this conversation offers raw insight and inspiration on how to create a yoga career that’s authentic, balanced, and fully your own.
