What happens when you are the teacher… but still feel like an outsider in your own practice?

In Part 2 of this conversation, Ula and Brea get even more real. From being injured students in rigid classes, to struggling with the pressure to look a certain way on Instagram, this is a no-filter conversation on the systems, expectations, and social media traps that shape modern yoga.

We talk about:

  • Why being a flexible, able-bodied white woman shouldn’t be a yoga marketing strategy
  • The myth of the “perfect teacher” and the yoga voice we all faked at some point
  • How social media algorithms can undermine empathy and authenticity
  • Why building inclusive, values-led yoga spaces matters now more than ever
  • The burnout of the weekly class grind—and how to build a sustainable teaching path

🎧 If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t “yogi” enough, or that something in modern yoga just feels… off—you’re not alone. And you’re not wrong to question it.

💡 Want to build a teaching life that’s aligned with your values—not the algorithm?
