  • Revisiting My Goals: A Birthday Week Reflection
    May 12 2026

    This week on Yoga Insider, I’m revisiting some of the goals and reminders I wrote down for myself at the beginning of 2026.

    Birthdays always make me reflective, and after a very full first few months of the year - including the growth of Yoga Insider, upcoming international trainings & retreats, new opportunities, and some important lessons around discernment & boundaries - it felt like the right moment to pause and audit the year so far.

    In this episode, I’m sharing:

    • The power of consistency (even when you don’t feel like showing up)
    • Why some of my goals now feel too small
    • Lessons around collaborations & the monetary value of my work
    • The behind-the-scenes story of how Yoga Insider started
    • Areas of my business that still need refinement & attention

    Some of the most meaningful things in our lives often begin as tiny ideas scribbled down in a notebook long before we fully understand where they might lead.

  • Burnout & Boundaries: An Ayurvedic & TCM Approach to Self-Care for Yoga Teachers with Jessica Bugra
    May 5 2026

    In this episode of Yoga Insider, I’m joined by Registered Acupuncturist and Ayurvedic counsellor Jessica Bugra for a grounded conversation on self-care for yoga teachers through the lens of both Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

    Inside this episode, we cover:

    • How Ayurveda and TCM intersect - and how they can support modern yoga teachers
    • Common patterns seen in “giving” professions (and why burnout is so prevalent)
    • What depletion really looks like from an energetic and physiological perspective
    • Where to begin when you feel exhausted or disconnected
    • Honest “hot takes” on wellness trends like hot yoga and cold plunging
    • Practices for maintaining energetic boundaries while working closely with others

    If you’re a yoga teacher or someone who gives a lot of yourself in your work, this episode will meet you with both clarity and compassion, and offer a more sustainable path forward.

  • Rethinking Social Media as a Yoga Teacher
    Apr 28 2026

    In this episode of Yoga Insider, I’m sharing my honest perspective on social media for yoga teachers - based on 14 years of teaching experience building a yoga career both with and without it.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by marketing your yoga offerings in the ever-changing digital landscape… you’re not alone.

    I’m walking you through the different “eras” of my own business - from teaching without advertising on social media at all, to navigating sharing my voice online, to building an online platform during COVID, and eventually landing on a more sustainable, intentional approach.

    We’ll talk about:

    • Why social media is a tool - not your entire business model
    • How I use Instagram today (and what I don’t use it for)
    • Why your email list matters more than you think
    • How social media plays a supporting role as part of a broader ecosystem that supports my business
