This episode kicks off with Bradshaw confessing to being hungover, as Giana pushes them to podcast through it and keeping things real. They reflect on returning from the Joshua Tree retreat, feeling a little burnt out, and how their behind-the-scenes experience contrasts with guests' perceptions. This leads to today’s main topic: lifting the veil on the yoga world.


Giana and Bradshaw dive into pivotal moments that have exposed some harsh realities beneath the surface, from serious scandals and unpaid work to being misled into expensive programs, dealing with inauthentic people, and navigating toxic studio culture. No topic is off-limits as they recount instances that made the purity of yoga feel compromised.


Their message isn’t that the world is inherently bad, but rather that it's crucial to know who you’re learning from and what you’re getting into. In their philosophy, it’s best to keep things real and remove illusions.
