Tight rooms, big challenges—and even bigger opportunities!
In this episode, I share lessons from years of teaching yoga in spaces that may have seemed too small on paper but that turned out to be perfectly intimate in practice.
You’ll hear my go-to strategies for mat arrangements, movement economy, managing props, and creating a powerful group energy, even when everyone’s elbow-to-elbow. Plus, I offer a fresh perspective on the hidden gifts that small spaces bring to your teaching practice.
If you’re working in gyms, multipurpose rooms, or cozy studios, this episode will help you turn limitations into teaching strengths.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
