Did Yoga Change, or Did We?

In this episode, I explore how the world of Yoga has evolved over the past decade, and whether it is really the practice that has changed or the people stepping onto the mat. Inspired by a conversation with a friend who simply asked, "What kind of Yoga should I do?", we dive into why that question has become much more complex than it used to be. We talk about how our understanding of the body, the nervous system, stress, recovery & overall wellbeing has expanded, how that has influenced the way Yoga is taught, and why the goal of a Yoga practice today often goes far beyond becoming stronger or more flexible. This episode is also an invitation to start asking a different question. Instead of looking for the "right" style of Yoga, what if we first became more aware of what we actually need? Highlights include: ● Why it may not be Yoga that has changed, but the people practising it. ● How teachers have expanded their toolbox while keeping the foundations of Yoga the same. ● Why today's students often come to Yoga for much more than flexibility or fitness. ● How learning to understand your own needs can transform the way you approach your practice. ● Why both teachers & students share the responsibility of creating a practice that truly supports real life.
