In this episode we’re joined by Amy Landry - a yoga teacher of many years, an Ayurvedic practitioner, mentor, author, and mother of two who's deeply devoted to preserving the depth and integrity of the traditional yoga teachings based here in Australia.

She’s written an incredible new book, 'The Sea of Yoga' which dives deep into the world of reductionist yoga. We talk about and cover topics from the fall of the Guru (and why teachers are still relevant), we de-bunk some yogic misconceptions and talk about how to keep yoga real in our every day lives. 

This is a must-listen for all yoga teachers and students and anyone who’s navigating a messy middle - remembering that these places are where we can lean into and create more meaningful stories.
