YogaScussion: Diverse, Honest, Mindful Yoga Discussions

About YogaScussion: Diverse, Honest, Mindful Yoga Discussions

Welcome to YogaScussion—the premier yoga podcast that goes beyond the mat. Hosted by Gina Clingerman and Brendon Orr, this weekly yoga talk show dives deep into yoga practice, yoga culture, and yoga philosophy with the teachers, healers, writers, and movers who are living it. This isn't a yoga podcast about perfect poses or performative wellness. It's a conversation about what yoga actually looks like in real life—the injuries, the doubt, the breakthroughs, the joy, and the messy, beautiful middle. We explore how ancient wisdom meets modern life, how a dedicated yoga practice transforms off the mat, and what it means to build community in a world that's forgotten how to connect. Each episode features honest, in-depth conversations with Gina, Brendon, and guests who bring diverse perspectives—from Ayurvedic physicians and somatic therapists to authors, yoga acharyas, yoga teachers, studio owners, and practitioners. Whether it's a yoga talk about the eight limbs, the yamas and niyamas, the business of yoga, the shifting landscape of modern yoga culture, or the neuroscience of stillness, we cover it all. Whether you're a yoga teacher looking for depth, a practitioner seeking community, or someone who's curious about what yoga really is beyond the Instagram aesthetic—YogaScussion is your seat.
