It is never black and white and so they detail different scenarios and talk about pivotal memories during their more formidable yoga student years. Bradshaw explains how teaching things he can do easily is actually a challenge for him, whereas Giana talks about one of her big “AHA” moments from a teacher who could not do a pose she taught. This topic leads them through tangents about why challenging poses are necessary and what an advanced practice means. They end the episode with cancel, commit, explore and also share what they’re working on or struggling with in their own practice right now. As always listen through to the funny stories at the end and let us know what you think!
