Yoga Beyond Certification: A Conversation with Annalissa Broderson

Many yoga teachers finish their 200-hour training wondering, "What's next?" In this heartfelt conversation, Lauren sits down with Annalyssa Broderson, a 200-hour graduate of True Love Yoga's 2020 training and current student in the studio's inaugural 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training. Together they discuss how yoga evolves over a lifetime, what happens after teacher training, and why continuing to study often brings more questions than answers. Annalyssa shares her journey from runner to therapist to yoga teacher, how yoga has supported her work with eating disorder recovery and mental health, and how returning to advanced study has helped her integrate movement, philosophy, mindfulness, and professional purpose. Whether you're a yoga teacher, considering teacher training, or simply someone who loves learning, this episode is a reminder that yoga isn't something we master—it's a relationship that continues to unfold. In this episode you'll learn: • How Annalyssa fell in love with yoga • What yoga teacher training was like during 2020 • The biggest differences between a 200-hour and 300-hour training • Why advanced yoga isn't about advanced poses • The role curiosity plays in lifelong practice • How yoga supports therapists, helpers, and caregivers • What students can expect from Annalyssa's Friday Hatha Flow classes • Why community makes continued education so powerful Interested in our 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training?
