This week, Giana and Bradshaw take a hard and honest look at the once-popular hashtag YogaEveryDamnDay, a phrase that began with good intentions but quickly became a symbol of obsession, injury, and hustle culture disguised as wellness.
They reflect on their own experiences of going too hard, pushing through pain, chasing results, and losing touch with the deeper purpose of the practice. Both share the moments that made them realize that more wasnt always better, and that the pursuit of progress at all costs was no longer serving them.
In this episode, they explore:
The fitness industrys no days off mentality
The relation between disordered exercise and disordered eating
How capitalism shows up in modern yoga and wellness culture
The dangerous glorification of harder, faster, deeper
Whether studios and teachers should rethink their messaging and class policies
They also dig into the responsibility yoga teachers have in modeling a healthy relationship to movement and rest. What kind of messages are we sending when we celebrate discipline without moderation? What does it look like to teach from a place of enoughness rather than exhaustion?
This is a raw and reflective conversation about unlearning toxic productivity and returning to movement as a practice of connection, not performance.

In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant and hilarious Jill Miller — creator of Yoga Tune Up®, author of Body by Breath, and a pioneer in blending movement, science, and recovery.
We cover everything from Jill’s early journey discovering yoga to her performance days in Chicago, and then dive deep into the science of it all- fascia, the nervous system, body dissection, and how it all ties back to yoga. We explore the power of longer holds, the widespread misinformation about the body, the importance of down-regulation, and what Jill’s currently working on (spoiler: it’s exciting).
Along the way, we laugh, swap stories, and share plenty of those “wow, that makes so much sense” moments. Jill even offers Giana some powerful advice.
She’s incredibly easy to talk to, overflowing with knowledge, and was an absolute pleasure to have on. We left this conversation feeling inspired, nerdy, and ready to roll around on our Tune Up Balls. And, YES, Jill did graciously send us some!

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on big schedule shifts, exciting growth, and the very real tension of giving a lot… maybe too much.
After three years of podcasting, countless hours of teaching, and years of building CAYA, we’re finally feeling the momentum. We talk about the slow burn of consistency, the fear and power of taking risks, and what it really means to invest in yourself.
But we also get candid about the DMs asking for free consulting, the entitlement that can come with putting out so much free content, and the blurry line between generosity and boundaries. How do you give enough to hook people in without giving it all away? We’re learning in real-time—and sometimes the hard way.
Giana shares about being new to San Francisco and the weirdness of trying to connect with studio coworkers, while Bradshaw recalls the moment Giana asked her out for a coffee… and how that one message turned into this whole thing. The irony isn’t lost on us—but there's a big difference between building real relationships and being asked to work for free.
This episode is about knowing your worth, honoring your time, and figuring out how to create value and demand. All with plenty of tangents and hilarious stories, of course.

Vinyasaregulationdeeper purpose of yogaYoga Nidranervous systemyogic sleepmodern distractionssequencingembodying practice
In this rich and wide-ranging episode, we sit down with the legendary Rod Stryker to talk about his early days teaching in Los Angeles and how his approach to yoga has evolved over the past 40 years. From the simplicity of sequencing to the complexity of modern distractions (looking at you, phones), we explore the shifts in vinyasa and ask: what’s the point if not regulation? If not wholeness?
We dive into the importance of embodying what you teach. Shouldn’t you actually practice something before you teach it? Rod thinks so. We also talk about learning to see bodies, trusting your own experience, and how to sustain your practice across the decades- letting exercise be exercise and yoga be the meditation it's intended to be, because regulating the nervous system is more important than ever.
There’s a deep dive into Yoga Nidra (and yes, we teach you how to pronounce it). We explore the liminal, energizing space of yogic sleep that might just be the unsung hero of modern yoga. And of course, there are plenty of laughs along the way- including Giana calling Bradshaw out mid-show (it’s hilarious), and we wrap up with a truly funny story from Rod involving a porta-potty. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it.
