Welcome to a bonus episode of Radiant Rest Podcast!
Recently I was honored to host author and teacher Anjali Rao for a workshop detailing a feminist lens in yoga history. Here on the podcast, I had to share our brief introductory conversation in which we discussed the patriarchy in yoga, the guru-student relationship, and more. I hope you enjoy the brilliance in this 10-minute episode!
