Power Yoga: How Much Is Too Much?

This episode kicks off, as always, with a touch of chaos. Bradshaw dips a toe into heterosexuality, Giana tries to steer the ship, and together they banter, bicker, and bulldoze through the boundaries of your typical yoga podcast. These two are not for the faint of heart (or the Yelp reviewer type). They curse, they care, and they actually know what they’re talking about. Eventually, they get around to the topic: What the hell is Power Yoga, really?They break down the stereotypes versus the reality, name-drop OGs like Bryan Kest and Baron Baptiste, and call out the culty, hustle-y vibes of modern studio culture. Expect tangents galore- on breath, pacing, cueing, rushing, reverse revolved lunge disasters, and yes... the flippity flop flop (and you know exactly what they’re talking about).They also ask a big question: How much is too much to challenge your students? There’s a fine line between empowering and just plain exhausting. They dish on how long to hold poses, the art of connecting students to sensation, and when to push vs. when to back the hell off.Buckle up. This one’s sweaty, spicy, and kind of sweet.UPCOMING RETREAT:Nicaragua Yoga Retreat for Students (February 2026): https://cayayogaschool.com/pages/nicaragua-retreatYoga Teachers Retreat: Costa Dulce, Nicaragua (MARCH 2026): https://cayayogaschool.com/pages/teachers-retreatBE PART OF OUR FUNNY FAM: https://www.cayayogaschool.com/communityPODCAST SUBSTACK: https://thefunnythingaboutyoga.substack.com/FOLLOW US:@thefunnythingaboutyoga @cayayogaschool @gianagambino @bradshawwishLINKS:https://www.cayayogaschool.com/https://www.gianayoga.com/ Hosted on Acast.
