Overnight, it seems that yoga left the ashrams of India, beaches of Bali, and communes of California and entered our offices, headlines, and cultural zeitgeist. But with the grand shift of yoga towards the mainstream, what has been lost in the shuffle? Can yoga simply be another way to excercize, or is the spiritual component essential to each practice? What about modern yoga in the West will have the OG yogis and gurus rolling over in their savasanas?

In this week’s podcast, we explore the growing popularity of yoga. Learn insights from two western yoga teachers, who have returned to the East to get closer to the source. Tune in below!
