17. Yoga Instructor on Spiritual Bypassing and Toxic Positivity with Jaskrit Bhalla

Welcome to Season 3!!! 

To kick off the winter season, a previous yoga instructor who has become a great friend and mentor of mine, Jaskrit Bhalla, joins the podcast. 

Personally, I have my own unique and relatively bitter relationship with yoga that has its positives, but also its negatives. And in talking with Jaskrit about her own experience with yoga and the concerns we both shared regarding spiritual bypassing and toxic positivity, we finally committed to making an episode.

On this episode we address: 

- Jaskrit’s lifelong relationship with yoga
- Why she got into teaching
- Spiritual bypassing
- Commodification of yoga practice in the West
- Reasons for eventually quitting
- Advice for those interested in trying yoga and diving into spirituality

On this episode I genuinely learned so much and am way too eager to share this conversation with you all. I hope you enjoy it!!
