Buckle up for the longest pre-show catch-up ever as Giana and Bradshaw reunite on the mic with a summer’s worth of updates. First up: summer travels, the ins and outs of Bradshaw’s weekend workshop in Indiana, and the unexpected moment when Giana interrupts to reveal a secret text Bradshaw sent, because of course she needs to share the juicy gossip. That naturally opens the door to a brand-new update on Bradshaw’s love life, and he spares no details. Like, none.
Once they finally get around to yoga, they dive into a detailed conversation about gym yoga versus studio yoga, and the elitism that can quietly creep into the yoga world. They both reflect on how teaching in gyms shaped them as teachers, especially in the early days. Giana reminds us that Bradshaw’s gym job actually sparked their connection, and thus, the existence of this podcast—and Bradshaw shares how it forced him to dig deeper in his teaching. Giana opens up about teaching in corporate versus not-so-corporate gyms, and how those experiences sharpened her teaching and broadened her perspective. They both agree: there’s no need to place a hierarchy on where you teach.
They swap funny gym stories, sprinkle in some solid advice for new teachers, and reflect on the freedom, structure, and surprising growth that can come from teaching outside the traditional studio box. Whether you’re teaching in a boutique studio, a big-box gym, or out of your living room, this one might just shift the way you think about where yoga happens, and who it’s really for.
