Teaching Authentically in Divided Times

In this episode:
MJ explores what it means to stay true to yourself as a yoga teacher (and as a human being) in times that can feel divided, uncertain, and sometimes just plain loud.

You’ll hear about:

• The challenge of balancing authenticity with sensitivity in the yoga room
• Navigating faith, spirituality, and language around the divine in class
• How to bring the yamas, niyamas, and deeper teachings of yoga into modern practice without alienating students
• Ways to stay grounded when the world feels polarized — inside and outside the studio
• How to speak from your heart while still honoring the diverse perspectives of your students
• Gentle strategies for diffusing conflict or discomfort in conversation (on or off the mat)
• The freedom that comes with teaching and living authentically — with kindness and curiosity

Perfect for:
Yoga teachers and lifelong students who want to share their truth with compassion, connect more deeply, and create a space where everyone feels seen and supported.
