Tough Cookie Talks

The Truth About Why I Quit Teaching Yoga with My Sister Kristi


Listen Later

My sister Kristi is back on the podcast today helping me unpack my existential crisis around yoga, and why I ultimately stopped teaching it.

On this episode we talk about:

  • Our lovely experience doing yoga teacher training together.
  • Why we both still love many things about yoga.
  • What led each of us to stop teaching it.
  • The problems with "basic bitch yoga", Yoga Alliance, yoga corporations, and yoga in the U.S. in general.
  • Why the thing I cried over during teacher training would ultimately end my teaching career 10 years later.
  • Why we both kinda wish we could go back to the days before we knew better.
  • What each of our yoga practices look like today.
  • How easy it is to get sucked into pseudoscience and conspiracy theories in certain yoga spaces.
  • So many other juicy things!
