• 30 Years of Yoga The Poses, Myths & Cues We’ve Let Go

  After 30 years of yoga, we’ve discovered which poses, myths, and cues actually hold you back.Here’s what to let go — and what to focus on instead for a stronger, more sustainable practice.Over three decades of yoga practice, we’ve seen trends, techniques, and teaching cues come and go. In this episode, we share the poses we approach differently now, the myths we no longer believe, and the verbal cues we’ve retired for good. From letting go of “going to your edge” in every pose, to embracing strength training, to rethinking old alignment rules, we reflect on what truly supports longevity, strength, and enjoyment in yoga practice. Whether you’re a yoga teacher or a dedicated student, you’ll find insight, perspective, and a few laughs from our 30 years on the mat.You can find shownotes here: yogalandpodcast.com/episode364Don't miss!
