In this episode, Giana Gambino and Bradshaw Wish record live from YogaRenew in Hoboken, NJ with Kate Lombardo and Patrick Franco.
Together, they get real about yoga partnerships—how clear communication, shared values, and a mission rooted in community can create a collaboration that actually lasts. These four longtime teachers bring equal parts honesty and hilarity as they pull back the curtain on what it’s like to be in a male–female platonic partnership: finding the right fit, defining roles, balancing responsibilities, and knowing when to call in backup.
Expect behind-the-scenes stories, ridiculous retreat moments, and a few tangents (including a dog left out in the cold). If this industry has ever felt lonely or hard to navigate, this conversation is a reminder that with consistency, trust, and a willingness to try new things, you can carve out your niche, find your people, and build something bigger than yourself.
