I was generally put off by the condescension and passive aggressive commentary and jokes even if the information is relevant and interesting to me. I’ll stick to reading and research that provides equally useful information and myth-busting without the tone of superiority and making fun of...Read full review »

Just commenting on the Polyvagal episode. I wish they had an actual expert on Polyvagal theory on the show. They said so many inaccurate things that made me cringe. Like whoa - the irony that they were making fun of reductionist claims and misinformation when it seems like that is what their...Read full review »

I think from the beginning there’s been a tendency to make this a “debunk” yoga podcast. I feel like they had a great idea but their bias away from yoga makes me wonder why they are doing the podcast. Isn’t it the concept that they’d like to change the atmosphere and misconceptions with science...Read full review »

I have tried to listen to this podcast cast so many times because the information in the titles seemed so good. I get 5 minutes into the podcast and I have to turn it off because of all the intentional, silly voice sounds & inflections. This bums me out because the way this comes across is...Read full review »

I almost didn’t leave a review, but I think it’s important. I strongly agree with another reviewer pointing out that the podcast is terribly reductionist and ignorant, and it also grossly misrepresents the tradition of yoga. Yes we can use available Western perspectives (eg “science,”...Read full review »

There is some great information in this podcast and I’ve learned a lot from it that I apply in my classes. It is also the only podcast I listen to at 1.5X because there is too much banter and no apparent editing. I appreciate when a podcast respects my time. 😋 As a yoga teacher I appreciate that...Read full review »

New listener here—really enjoying the pod. Especially liked the recent Scope of Teaching Yoga episode. Thanks and keep it coming.

I’m really enjoying working my way through these podcast episodes and the way Jenni and Travis explore various topics (many of which have been on my mind since completing yoga TT). Once in a while I do think there is a one-sidedness to the conversation/topic — acupuncture is an example that stuck...Read full review »

I am reviewing only the episode on May 16 regarding Fascia. While there isn’t a lot of supporting evidence either way on the nature of how Fascia should be viewed scientifically, they didn’t add to the discussion in a meaningful way. In fact there was more in the way of “I think” and even...Read full review »

This podcast is brilliant. It dispelled all the myths that circulate between yoga teachers, which are not based on what research now tells us. Immediately after my teacher training I was not ready for this podcast and was still defending the stuff I had been taught. Two years on I am so grateful...Read full review »

JR's really really trying a listener's patience,her prententious & howling interruptive, undereducated way of hosting this podcast may appeal to the usamerican audience, although I refuse to assume this sort of naive-fitness-meets-trendy-wellness has meaning to the majority of people...Read full review »

I’m a long time admirer of Jenni and Travis’s work. This podcast is a staple source of information for me for evidence-based takes on yoga and strength training. The amount of research, thoughtfulness, and care that Jenni and Travis put into each episode is apparent, and I always come away having...Read full review »

These two hardly seem equipped to discuss hot yoga.
Joli Gee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/23
I am one of those folks in the Venn Diagram who really enjoy Yoga and Resistance Training, so I really like the content of this podcast. It does not touch much on the history or spiritual through line of Yoga, and that’s okay. What it does is provide some of the most biomechanics informed...Read full review »

Could be half the length. So much repeating and affirming instead of getting to the point and moving to next topic
mintjedi via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/26/23
This was very interesting and valuable to listen to, but I must admit that I was annoyed by the constant comments by Jenny. All the „yeahs“ are interrupting the flow for the listener. Really not helpful,- sorry to say!
lamotties via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 02/25/23
I’m so grateful for this podcast. You both rock!
Thenunneryvintage via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/23
This show nails exactly the topic I wan’t to listen to! I did not find any similar niche resource to answer some of my questions. So huge congrats to that. Keep on the great work!! But I do listen to it on higher speed because the podcast lacks a bit of rythm and is I think 30min too long. I...Read full review »
sourouhh via Apple Podcasts · Italy · 02/08/23
In episode 33, the first cue comparisons are about plank and down dog, related to the wrists and shoulder alignment. These are two very different poses with different purposes, so the alignment will naturally be different (which you discuss in the down dog episode). Whether or not the cues are...Read full review »

I follow Jenni on Instagram and I’ve always appreciated her novel sequencing, however I was very disappointed when I switched over to the podcast. The hosts and guests criticize other people for being reductive in their thinking, all the while demonstrating their lack of deep knowledge and...Read full review »

Great podcast!
jenduss via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/22
Fantastic episode! Super important conversation to have about beliefs and biases in the Wild West of the yoga/wellness world. Relevant and current to other fields and communities as well. Thank you guys!
Mel_asana via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/22
Excellent resource for yoga and movement teachers! Thank you Jenni & Travis. They are well-informed on the current state of the science. The glutes as the magic muscle episode was a little snarky but that aside this podcast provides very valuable content. Keep up the good work, so grateful.
lizzzz9 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/22
Have been loving this podcast — sooo much thoughtful content! My only feedback is for Jenni — she is frequently self-deprecating and overly deferential to the other host and guests… and I would love to hear more about HER thoughts and expertise as that is a huge element of the podcast!!
Treebyleaf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/22
Great discussion! This is one of the few podcasts I have actually listened start to finish! I have been following Jennie for several years on Instagram and Facebook and has shown creative ways in moving your body. Keep up the good work. Thank you, Jennie.

Such an informative, fun and accessible podcast! Thank you Jenni and Travis for all your amazing work!!

This offers a useful scientific perspective on yoga. I like it a lot.
Deeeev via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/07/22
I appreciate some conversations in this podcast (loved Adam Meakins) but also find the one on one between Jenni and Travis unsatisfying and often frustrating because it seems like they often misrepresent yoga, or give very limited examples of yoga asana beliefs. Yoga asana is changing quickly and...Read full review »

Thank you to Rawlings & Pollen for bringing new insights to my yoga and strengthening routines with each new episode
Detour4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/22
While I appreciate Jenni’s teaching experience & Travis’s phd, the 5+ episodes I’ve listened to have felt like 2 people casually conversing about complex topics, who are trying to summarize articles they just read the night before. Many of the topics feel like clickbait, & then the hosts...Read full review »

I was really excited to see this title and listened with anticipation to the podcast this afternoon. What a disappointment! I get that it’s hard to explain hips storing emotion from a purely scientific perspective. You two, however, rejected the notion out of hand and seemed to ignore the many...Read full review »

I love that they bring yoga and science together and that they debunk some myths!
Polletjes5 via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 04/26/22
Jenni and Travis are so good at asking the right questions and listening to their guests and following up. Zero interruptions. This episode was provocative without being sensational. As a “trauma informed” yoga teacher I have paid for many classes on strengthening polyvagal tone. I was surprised...Read full review »

I love this podcast. Jenni & Travis are so knowledgeable and generous with their intelligence. They choose great topics with direct relevance for teachers. Beyond all that I smile throughout because of their quirky playfulness & fun interactions. Altogether the best!
Laura G Yoga via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/08/22
Jeni and Travis have been so enlightening with their discussions on yoga and movement science. I’ve learned so much in each episode! Thanks for all you are doing to help us as yoga instructors to see beyond the traditional ways we were taught and to ask why? And to help us give the best up to...Read full review »
Yogalife10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/22
This podcast address really cool and interesting topics. However, the hosts get off topic quite frequently and sometimes the thought progression of the show is hard to follow. Despite this, I am excited to see what new topics are discussed and how the podcast grows over time. :-)
EmptyCupofJo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/22
I listen to lots of yoga and movement podcasts and this has fast become a favorite. Each episode includes loads of useful information presented in a way that makes it clearly applicable to personal movement practice and/or teaching. Thank you Jenni and Travis!
&167 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/13/22
So much valuable information in here. I really love the science/strength conditioning intersection with yoga. A must listen for yoga teachers I think. I really loved the sequencing episode. The best thing is that I can practically apply and/or use the information to inform and inspire how I...Read full review »

I’ve been an Insta fan for a bit, and man, this podcast does not disappoint! I love the information, the humanity, and the open approach to topic that often intimidates so many of us who are looking for a science based approach to movement. Thank you for this!

Jenni’s Instagram has been a favorite of mine for a while. This podcast is a super addition to her very informative educational offerings. In this stability podcast there were topics that I had not given thought too and I am grateful for an introduction and some clarity on the topic. I will be...Read full review »

Like the ball and marble analogy for defining stability. Good enough to listen to again.
MarcieLondon via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/14/21
As a movement educator, I am continuously seeking to refine my own understanding of human movement to best serve my students. I’ve been enjoying Jenni’s content for years, and Travis’s more recently, and am so thrilled about the creation of the pod! Jenni is a clear communicator, skilled at...Read full review »

Very clear and useful. I teach strengthening and stabilizing yoga to seniors. This podcast is a godsend. Hope Jenni follows up with yoga routines to help us strengthen and stabilize.
