#48 CALLING BULLSH*T: INSTAGRAM YOGA, YOGA INJURIES, AND KEEPING IT REAL ON + OFF THE MAT WITH STEPHANIE BIRCH

I have been wanting to have this conversation on the podcast for a while now, and I was waiting for the right person to have it with. When I saw Steph Birch aka @stephynow post about her hamstring yoga injury, I knew that I HAD to reach out and see if she would be interested in having a candid conversation about the taboo topic of yoga injuries, the shadow side of yoga on Instagram, having a healthy practice, and just overall keeping it real and authentic in an online world. She was game, and I'm stoked to share this episode on being more mindful on and off the mat.
