Needs some work
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 Yoga asana is changing quickly and teachers are becoming more and more aware of certain outdated ideas that they were taught in their 200 hr TT. This podcast oftentimes comes off as condescending and honestly quite reductive in its representation of yoga teachers. I know there are a lot of movement myths taught in yoga asana, and a lot of teachers do parrot nonsense cues that continue to perpetuate false ideas. These conversations do need to be had, but the tone can be so harsh sometimes. I have the feeling like Jenni and Travis enjoy making fun of yoga teachers and anyone else that doesn’t have a well rounded understanding of biomechanics, exercise science, and anatomy, which are not really accessible topics to most people, especially after only 200 hours of training. Also some of these conversations are very confounding and don’t lead to any solutions or conclusions, and instead meander through criticisms of yoga teachers and their beliefs about postural yoga. I understand this podcast is relatively new, and I will stick with it for awhile to see if they can work out some of these issues and figure out a more concise and less condescending way to discuss these topics.

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 »
