Whether you practice yoga, teach it or have built your career around it — the industry you love isn't always what it seems.

In this episode I sit down with Rebecca Sebastian — yoga teacher, yoga therapist and one of the most honest voices writing about what it's actually like to work in yoga today. Rebecca is the founder of Working in Yoga and Inside Yoga Magazine and she has been naming the systemic issues most people are too polite to say out loud.

Yoga teacher, yoga therapist and founder of The Nourished Woman, Keri Marino, talk about our careers in yoga, how the industry has changed, the large scale forces shaping it right now and what the path forward looks like for yoga teachers and therapists navigating it all. We also talk about the transformative power of yoga itself — and the students who make all of it worth it.

If you've ever wanted a look behind the curtain of the yoga world — this is that conversation. And if you're working in yoga and looking for clarity on what comes next — this one is especially for you.

Consider this your water cooler moment.

You like yoga. You know it helps. And you cannot seem to make it stick. And honestly — alot of people feel this way. Even yoga teachers and yoga therapists sometimes. 😂

But here's what I want you to know — your on-again off-again relationship with yoga is costing you something. 

Not because you're undisciplined. Because you haven't had the right structure or the right understanding of what actually makes a practice last.

In this episode, yoga therapist and yoga teacher Keri Marino gets into the mindset shifts that will help you build a steady long-lasting daily yoga practice — the specific reasons most women lose the thread, the benefits waiting on the other side of consistency and what the yogic tradition actually says about devoted daily practice that nobody ever taught you.

What if the thing standing between you and the life you actually want is smaller than you think?

Just practice. Consistent, devoted, real practice — woven into the actual fabric of your actual life.

In this episode of The Nourished Woman Podcast, yoga therapist and yoga teacher Keri Marino gets honest about what yoga practice actually looks like for real women — and what becomes possible when you stop making it optional and start making it a commitment.

Because here's what happens when a woman actually practices consistently —

The anxiety quietly decreases. The body starts to feel like somewhere worth living in. Pleasure becomes accessible. Play returns. Ease shows up in places that used to feel tight and reactive. You stop bracing for impact and start actually enjoying your life.

Not because everything got easier. Because you got more rooted.

We talk about the all-or-nothing thinking that keeps self-aware women stuck, when real women are actually fitting practice in and what works, what yoga actually is beyond active asana — and why that reframe makes everything more accessible, how to stop buying into the story that you don't have time and what to do instead and why leaning into your desire for practice matters as much as the logistics.

The honest truth? You have more time than you're telling yourself.

And 80% of the how — the structure, the curated practices, the ease of knowing exactly where to start — is already waiting for you inside The Nourished Woman Sanctuary.

This is your permission slip. And your practical roadmap.

What does it actually take to end the war with your body?

Anna Guest-Jelley — founder of Curvy Yoga — joins yoga therapist Keri Marino for a deeply honest conversation. From childhood Weight Watchers meetings and chronic migraines to building a yoga community that finally made women feel welcome in their own skin.

They talk about body acceptance as an active daily practice, what yoga actually does for a woman's relationship with herself over time and what it looks like to become audaciously whole — not by changing your body but by coming home to it.

Let's be honest, sometimes yoga can feel boring. And ironically, that might be exactly what you are needing. Especially if you are a woman who is prone towards fight or flight, leads a demanding lifestyle or prefers to "keep moving." 

In this episode, yoga therapist and yoga teacher Keri Marino talks about the healing power of slow, contemplative yoga practice and how it gives you something more active styles never could. 

She'll uncover the real medicine a yoga practice can provide and the mindset shifts that will help you stop avoiding and start leaning into your practice.

What does trauma-informed yoga actually mean — and does all yoga heal, or can some of it hurt?

In this episode yoga therapist and yoga teacher Keri Marino sits down with Liz Albanis, Australian yoga therapist and host of the Yoga for Trauma: The Inner Fire of Yoga Podcast, for one of the most honest conversations this show has had about trauma, the body and what healing with yoga actually looks like.

They cover what trauma really is beyond the dramatic version, why not all yoga is created equal for trauma recovery, the red flags to watch for in yoga spaces, what a genuinely supportive practice actually feels like from the inside — and where these two experienced practitioners see things differently.

If you're looking for an honest, expert take on how to heal through a yogic based approach. This one is for you.

If you've ever wondered where the chronic tightness in your shoulders comes from, the mirror you'd rather avoid or the pleasure you can't fully open up to receive - it could be because your body is holding onto something to protect you (like it needed to in the past.) 

The reality is, so much of how you've thought about and experienced your body - is rooted in trauma and adaptive patterns. 

But a conscious, loving relationship with your body in the here and now isn't guided by protective habits alone, it's also resourced in soul alignment, you standing in your power and a nervous system that can hold goodness too. 

In this episode, yoga therapist and yoga teacher Keri Marino unpacks how trauma impacts your body and what it looks like to heal deeply - in a holistic yoga therapy based method.

Jessica Erlendson is a yoga therapist and menopause educator from Calgary — and she is one of those women who has taken the hardest parts of her life and turned them into something that genuinely helps other people heal.

In this conversation we talk about leaving a domestic violence situation at 21 and pregnant, how learning became her form of freedom, what yoga therapy actually looks like when it meets a real human being exactly where they are, and why being comfortable in a restorative pose is not a small thing — it might be the whole point.

This one is warm, honest and a little unexpected. I think you're going to love her.
