Join Glo Teacher Annie Carpenter as she interviews Richard Rosen, a revered teacher in the yoga community, for an enlightening chat about breath, practice, mentors, and finding your voice as a teacher.

Their heart-to-heart talk explores the essence of persistence in yoga and how commitment enriches both our practice and life’s purpose. Richard shares about his influences and mentors, and how he evolved his own yoga teaching voice. He and Annie talk about Pranayama and how it is often underestimated in an Asana practice, and they explore the concept of karma. Richard caps off the chat with a poem that is a lighthearted reminder of life’s unpredictable nature.

Join us for this conversation that is as informative as it is inspiring.
