podTALK
Welcome to podTALK - where we spill on what’s happening in the studio, what we’re working through in real life, and all the good stuff that doesn’t always make it to the group chat.
From sweaty highs to quiet resets, from barre burn to breathwork, from mindful-mess to mindful movement. This is where movement meets wellness meets real life.
It’s honest. It’s real. It’s human. And it’s all part of the practice.
Because yoga? It’s just the beginning.
