In this week's episode, Laura and Carolyn do a deep(ish) dive into the internet's favorite Yoga teacher, Adriene Mischler and chat with Fit Literate's FIRST EVER GUEST! Huge thank you to Divya Balakrishnan for sitting down to talk with us about the current state of yoga on the internet, how yoga fits into a balanced movement practice, and the importance of supporting South Asian practitioners in an industry that has been continuously whitewashed for white, western sensibilities.

What's the next big trend in fitness? In this episode we utilize the insights we've gained from rotting our brains on TikTok to predict where we think the pendulum is swinging next. We cover "hormone balancing" workouts, cycle syncing, the resurgence of the pilates and y2k body ideals, and what we think this all means for the future of fitness content online. Thanks for listening!
