Bradshaw and Giana kick things off with Bradshaw’s questionable French accent (and a history tangent that somehow lands on Mussolini), plus a lighthearted detour into their celebrity crushes. But behind the laughs lies something big: the announcement of their upcoming 300-Hour Teacher Training and the central role of community in the program.
They dive into what sets this training apart: personal mentorship, meaningful community building, and a hybrid model designed to fit the realities of working teachers’ lives. From accessibility and multiple learning styles to the transformative power of connection in the yoga world, they explain how this program was thoughtfully crafted from the ground up.
Throughout the episode, Giana and Bradshaw reflect on their own training journeys- the moments they felt unseen, the challenges of navigating a sometimes competitive yoga world, and how mentorship and authentic connection can redefine a teacher’s path. They share how the pandemic strengthened their partnership, how engaging with community beyond your home studio fosters collaboration, and why connection- through classes, retreats, and even their Patreon “funny fam” remains at the heart of everything they do.
As always, the conversation weaves between heartfelt reflection, hilarious stories, and a few surprises, including a secret about early-bird registration that you won’t want to miss.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
