In this episode, we sit down with Jonah Kest, yoga teacher, traveler, and legacy disruptor, for a deep, hilarious, and refreshingly honest conversation. We dive into everything from growing up in a yoga family to carving his own path, his recent Club Med partnership, the importance of authenticity and language, and why he’s not trying to be the teacher for everyone. Jonah shares how society these days feels a little clenched, learns about poppers (yep), and lets Bradshaw take him on some wild tangents. We trade mid-class stories, including one where a student straight-up cursed him out, unpack AI and buzzwords in the wellness world, and dig into his powerful advice for new teachers. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been on the mat for years, this one is packed with humor, inspiration, and unapologetic realness.
