In this episode of Yoga-ish, we share our funniest, weirdest, and most heartfelt memories from our early years of practice: • Renting rooms in funky parts of town with circus performers as neighbors • The original paper-thin blue and green mats that never got cleaned • Heavy wooden props that could double as furniture • Our first teachers — from deeply traditional to delightfully eccentric • How yoga felt before it became mainstream, and what’s changed (for better and worse)Whether you started in the 70s, 90s, or just last week, this is a love letter to yoga’s evolution — and a celebration of its wonderfully weird past.💬 Your turn: Were you practicing yoga in the 90s (or earlier)?
