EP 6 - 200 HOURS KILLED YOGA
<p>In this episode, we look at the history and evolution of yoga teachers and who is deemed qualified to teach. We explore the ideas of guru-shisya parampara and indigenous knowledge of yoga. We discuss a householder’s approach to a yogic lifestyle and take a critical look at yoga credentialing and the Yoga Alliance 200-HR program. We discuss the issues of an hours based model instead of a competency based model for yoga teacher certification.

EP 5 - VEGANS KILLED YOGA
<p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">In this episode, we explore concepts of ahimsa, vegetarianism, veganism, diet culture, and a sattvic diet. We discuss how non-injury and non-harm can be interpreted in different ways, depending on your yoga education and your religious beliefs. We share our personal stories and thoughts on diet and lifestyle as yoga teachers, the reality of what it means to eat in a yogic way, what it means to be healthy. We discuss individual contribution vs governmental regulation when it comes to food and responsibility.
