Welcome to a podcast for Us. The Yoga Professionals.

Welcome to Working In Yoga

Hi, I’m Rebecca Sebastian.

I’m a yoga professional first—teacher, therapist, and forever student.

Years ago, I read Creativity, Inc., and it cracked something open in me. I realized with tears streaming down my face that my work as a yoga teacher was deeply creative—and yet, so often, nobody treated it as professional. Instead, I found myself in spaces that were controlling, exploitative, and dismissive of the honest desire so many of us share: to feel whole, reduce suffering, and live with integrity.

As Dr. Shyam Ranganathan once said on this very podcast, “Nobody comes to yoga because things are going great.” We come because we need it—and we stay because we discover something powerful inside ourselves that we long to share.

Yoga professionals are curious, resilient, and endlessly thoughtful. We read anatomy texts for fun. We debate philosophy into the early hours. We experiment with how the body moves, how ethics shape our choices, and how counter-culture keeps us alive. We are outliers—always have been. And for many of us, the yoga studio was the first place we ever felt like we’d found our people.

That’s what Working In Yoga is about.

It’s a conversation—between colleagues, friends, and passionate practitioners navigating the joys and the challenges of sharing this ancient practice in a modern world. We’ll talk about nourishment, joy, money, and meaning. We’ll welcome the complicated, the messy, the celebratory, and the fun.

Because we are proud of our profession. We know yoga makes a difference—not because it’s all love and light, but because it’s rich enough, deep enough, and important enough to get messy for.

So, hey friends. Welcome.
Let’s dive in.
