Yoga Teacher Resource Podcast

Mado Hesselink created this podcast as the resource she wished existed when she started teaching, and it shows in the practical focus of every episode. With over 310 episodes and a 4.9-star rating from 238 listeners, the show covers an unusually wide range of topics that yoga teachers actually deal with. The format rotates between expert interviews and on-air coaching calls where real yoga teachers bring their actual problems and work through them live. That coaching call format is genuinely unique in the yoga podcast space. A recent episode featured a teacher figuring out how to be less awkward on camera, and another helped someone think through pricing for financial sustainability. The expert interviews bring in people like Dr. Libby Hinsley on yoga and longevity and Dr. Ariele Foster on functional movement, so the information is grounded in real expertise rather than Instagram wisdom. Topics range from advanced asana and aesthetics to legal considerations and building a resilient business. The monthly release schedule means episodes come out less frequently than some competitors, but each one tends to be more carefully produced. This is the podcast to recommend to a teacher who just finished their 200-hour training and has no idea what to do next.
