À propos de ce contenu audio

Join yoga studio owner, yoga teacher, yoga therapist, and yoga non-profit founder Rebecca Sebastian for a water cooler discussion of what it is to work in the yoga world.

We will talk about our experiences, good & bad, connect with each other, share tips freely, and tell our stories.

Many years ago a yoga-teacher friend of mine said to me “the one things I don’t like about being a yoga teacher is there’s no water cooler”. And he was right. (thanks James).

So let’s use this podcast as our water cooler. This past year, especially, has been so hard for us. Let’s talk about it. Share our stories, our unique jobs, and a sense of community that we all need.

    • Designing for Everyone: Neurodivergence, Experience, and How We Build Yoga Spaces (Part Two)
      Jan 22 2026

      In this follow-up conversation, we go deeper into what inclusive design actually looks like in yoga spaces. From sound engineering and sensory considerations to universal design principles and the social model of disability, this episode explores how centering neurodivergent people from the beginning—not as an afterthought—can radically change how yoga is taught, experienced, and shared. We also reflect on how trauma-informed practices translate, why lived experience must guide decision-making, and how training future teachers needs to evolve.

    • Making Room for Everyone: Neurodivergence, Grace, and Inclusion in Yoga
      Jan 15 2026

      What does it actually mean to create inclusive yoga spaces for neurodivergent people? In this episode, we explore the intersection of trauma-informed yoga and neurodivergent safety—while also modeling what it looks like to learn in real time. You’ll hear moments of curiosity, missteps, and grace as language evolves in the conversation, offering a powerful reminder that inclusion isn’t about perfection. It’s about willingness, reflection, and designing spaces that welcome everyone from the very beginning.

    • Some Conversations Don’t Belong in the Same Room.
      Jan 8 2026

      What happens when an industry grows faster than its infrastructure? In this solo episode, Rebecca explores how yoga professionals ended up navigating public discourse, expensive coaching, and deeply personal career decisions all at once—and why we desperately need quieter, more intentional spaces to think, reflect, and build what comes next.

      🧠 KEY TAKEAWAYS

      We recreated the student model for professionals—without questioning it.
      Yoga pros now have public “group class” spaces for discourse and expensive, often misaligned “containers” for depth. What’s missing is the middle ground.

      Business coaching in yoga often lacks lived experience.
      Much of the business advice in yoga is taught by people who haven’t actually built sustainable careers as yoga teachers or yoga therapists—creating a gap between theory and reality.

      Burnout isn’t just financial—it’s existential.
      Many yoga professionals feel untethered, unclear, and small within a massive industry that expanded without building infrastructure to support careers.

      Careers in yoga are bespoke, not linear.
      Our paths aren’t ladders or portfolios—they’re custom-built lives. But the expectation to figure this out alone creates isolation and pressure.

      Public spaces are good for discourse, not discernment.
      Social media excels at connection and organizing, but it cannot support slow thinking, reflection, or personal strategy.

      Clarity comes from space, not hustle.
      What yoga professionals need most right now isn’t more information—it’s time, reflection, translation, and collective thinking.

      Not every conversation should be public.
      Industry conversations and personal career decisions serve different purposes—and they require different rooms.
