Exposed: Inside the Yoga Teacher’s Mind

This week, Giana and Bradshaw dive into their inner monologue while teaching—when it’s the loudest, what quiets it down, and how it shifts throughout class. From distractions to trying new things, assisting, and even students leaving mid-class, they get real about what actually runs through a teacher’s mind. They also explore the energy drain that can come with teaching and how, paradoxically, teaching itself can help quiet the inner chatter. Plus, a reminder: yoga teachers are professionals who have to show up, hold space, and bring positive energy, even when it’s tough—so, naturally, their inner monologue is always in the mix. And, of course, there are tangents about death, our retreats, tragic chaturangas, and plenty of funny voices.
