The 15 Best Yoga Teachers Podcasts (2026)

Andrea Ferretti spent years as executive editor at Yoga Journal before launching Yogaland, and that editorial instinct shows in every episode. She and her husband Jason Crandell, a well-known yoga teacher in his own right, split time between technique-heavy episodes about alignment and sequencing and looser conversations about how yoga fits into daily life. With over 430 episodes and a 4.8-star rating from more than 1,200 listeners, the show has earned its reputation as one of the most trusted resources in the yoga teaching world. The technique episodes are genuinely useful. Jason breaks down poses with the kind of specificity you rarely hear on a podcast, talking about where to place your femur in Warrior II rather than just saying to bend your knee. Andrea asks the follow-up questions that a newer teacher would want answered. Their Yoga(ish) segments feel different, more personal and conversational, touching on topics like navigating boundaries in yoga spaces and how to handle difficult emotions during class. Recent episodes have tackled important subjects like power dynamics and red flags in yoga communities. The weekly release schedule means there is always something new, and the back catalog is deep enough to keep you busy for months. If you teach yoga and only have bandwidth for one podcast, this is probably the one to pick.

Brea Johnson runs Heart and Bones Yoga and brings a refreshingly critical eye to yoga teaching through this podcast. She is not interested in repeating the usual platitudes about finding your inner light. Instead, she asks hard questions about why yoga teachers burn out, what actually builds confidence in the classroom, and where the wellness industry gets things wrong. The show has a perfect 5.0 rating, and while the audience is smaller, the listeners who find it tend to stick around. Brea mixes solo episodes where she works through a specific problem, like why motivation-based goal setting fails or what friction really means in building a teaching practice, with occasional guest conversations. Her episode on yoga teacher burnout is particularly worth hearing because she names the structural problems rather than suggesting you just need more self-care. She also runs episodes on nervous system education for teachers, cutting through oversimplified claims about calming the vagus nerve. The biweekly schedule gives each episode room to breathe. This is a podcast for teachers who finished their training and realized the real questions were just beginning.

Arundhati Baitmangalkar is an immigrant yoga teacher, studio owner, and global mentor, and she brings all of those perspectives into every episode of this show. With 225 episodes and a 4.9 rating from nearly 500 listeners, the podcast has built a seriously loyal following. What sets it apart is the focus on teaching methodology that goes beyond surface-level advice. Her episodes on sequencing are standout content. Rather than giving you a template to follow, she explains the thinking behind why poses belong together and how to build a class that actually makes anatomical sense. The episode on pose literacy as a gateway to smart sequencing is the kind of content you would pay for in a continuing education workshop but can get here for free. Arundhati also addresses the cultural dimensions of yoga in ways that feel honest rather than performative. She speaks from personal experience about what it means to teach yoga as someone from the tradition, not just someone who studied it. The business episodes are practical too, covering how to find your teaching purpose and build a sustainable career. The mix of solo episodes and guest interviews keeps the format from getting stale.

J. Brown has been running this interview show since 2015, and the guest list reads like a directory of the yoga world. With over 520 episodes, it is one of the longest-running yoga podcasts around. The format is straightforward: J. sits down with a teacher, therapist, or author and has an extended conversation that usually runs 60 to 90 minutes. The pacing is intentionally slow, which works well for the kinds of topics he covers. Recent conversations have explored nonduality, trauma-informed care, and the tension between authenticity and manipulation in yoga spaces. His interview with Bernie Clark about history, myth, energy, and spirit is a good example of the depth he aims for. The 4.2-star rating is lower than some others on this list, partly because J. has strong opinions and a contemplative style that does not work for everyone. But for teachers who want more philosophical depth and less business strategy, this is a rare find. The weekly episodes mean there is a massive archive to explore, and the conversations tend to age well because they focus on ideas rather than trends. His background in breath-centered, therapeutic yoga shapes the kind of guests he invites and the questions he asks.

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.

Amanda Kingsmith pairs her yoga teaching background with a business degree, and that combination makes Mastering the Business of Yoga (sometimes called M.B.Om) feel different from the usual inspirational fare. The show has over 400 episodes and a 4.8-star rating, and it is explicitly designed for people who just got their teaching certification and are staring at the gap between their training and an actual income. Each episode features a different yoga teacher sharing their specific career path, not generic advice but real stories about what worked and what did not. Recent episodes have addressed the basics of starting a yoga business, the decision to open a studio, and how to expand from teaching group classes into online offerings. Amanda asks practical, sometimes uncomfortable questions about money, and her guests tend to answer honestly. The send-off series that closed out a recent chapter of the show was a thoughtful look back at patterns she noticed across hundreds of interviews. The show also covers yoga retreats, specialized training programs, and the reality of taking maternity leave when you are self-employed. For a newly certified teacher wondering how to pay rent with a 200-hour certificate, this is essential listening.

Karen Fabian has been teaching yoga since 2002, and her podcast reflects that depth of experience. With nearly 400 episodes and a 4.9-star rating, the show focuses heavily on building confidence as a yoga teacher. That might sound narrow, but Karen unpacks it in surprisingly specific ways. Her recent four-part series broke confidence down into cues, sequencing, anatomy, and mindset, dedicating a full episode to each. The sequencing episode alone is worth the time because she explains how knowing your way around a sequence removes the anxiety that makes new teachers second-guess themselves mid-class. Karen also addresses the comparison trap directly, and not with vague reassurance. She talks about the specific moments when comparing yourself to another teacher is actually destructive versus when it can be useful feedback. The weekly release schedule and solo format give the show an intimate, mentorship-like quality. It feels like getting advice from a senior teacher who has made enough mistakes to know which ones matter. The episode about the gap between the yoga teacher you want to be and how you actually teach right now is particularly honest. For teachers struggling with imposter syndrome or feeling stuck in their teaching, this show offers practical next steps.

Monica Bright runs this solo show with a tight focus on the teaching side of yoga, and she does it well. With 114 episodes and a weekly release schedule, the podcast covers class planning, sequencing logic, and the day-to-day realities of standing in front of a room and guiding people through movement. Her recent run of episodes on sequencing is particularly strong. She tackles the idea that poses belong together for anatomical reasons, not just because they look good on paper, and she explains the missing link between knowing anatomy and actually using that knowledge when you plan a class. The episode on why verbal cues are not always enough is the kind of practical content that most teacher trainings skip over entirely. Monica also gets into the softer skills of teaching, like shifting from an authority-based teaching style to one grounded in curiosity, and treating each student relationship as personal rather than transactional. Her episode on what to do when you feel unprepared in class is honest in a way that newer teachers will appreciate. The show also touches on business strategy for long-term sustainability, though the teaching craft episodes are where it really shines. The 5.0 rating comes from a small but dedicated audience.

Jackie Murphy spent 12 years in the yoga industry before becoming a certified business coach, and The Studio CEO reflects that specific expertise. With 284 episodes and a 4.9-star rating from 60 listeners, this is the most business-forward podcast on this list. Jackie talks about revenue, team building, and scaling a studio the way a business consultant would, not the way a yoga teacher typically does. Recent episodes have covered how to use AI in your studio without losing your brand voice, what to do when a competitor opens down the street, and a breakdown of how one of her clients generated over 81,000 dollars during a Black Friday promotion. That level of specificity is rare in yoga podcasts. She shares actual numbers and strategies rather than vague encouragement about abundance mindset. The show covers both yoga and Pilates studio ownership, so some episodes will be more relevant than others depending on your situation. Jackie releases episodes weekly, and the solo format means she controls the pacing and can go deep on a single topic. For teachers who already have a studio or are seriously planning to open one, this podcast treats the business like a business, which is refreshing in a space where financial talk often feels taboo.

Jenni Rawlings is a yoga teacher and educator, and Travis Pollen holds a PhD in Exercise Science, and together they ask a question most yoga podcasts avoid: what does the research actually say? With 50 episodes and a 4.1 rating, this show is not for everyone, and they seem fine with that. The podcast systematically examines common yoga claims through a scientific lens, covering topics like fascia myths, knee safety misconceptions, and whether cardio matters for yogis. Their episode on the top seven most misused movement terms is the kind of thing that might change how you talk about anatomy in class. The format mixes solo analysis episodes with guest interviews featuring researchers and movement professionals. The show has not released new episodes since late 2023, so it functions more as a finite library than an ongoing series at this point. Some listeners find the tone a bit academic, and a few reviews mention that the hosts can come across as dismissive of traditional yoga perspectives. But if you are a teacher who has ever wondered whether a common cue is actually supported by evidence, this podcast will either confirm your suspicions or challenge your assumptions. The episode on wellness myths in the yoga world is a good starting point.

Adrianne Jerrett launched All Mats Taken in 2024, and the show has quickly found its niche among yoga teachers who want to grow their business without selling out their values. With 49 episodes and a perfect 5.0 rating, the podcast focuses on marketing and business strategies that feel authentic rather than corporate. The name itself hints at the saturated market reality that yoga teachers face, and Adrianne addresses that head-on. Recent episodes cover topics like the anti-hustle marketing method, why most yoga business free offers fail, and how to build a business by leaning into your personal story rather than copying someone else. She brings on guests like Sage Rountree for sequencing advice and Nyk Danu for marketing that does not feel gross. The biweekly format mixes solo strategy episodes with guest interviews, and both tend to be actionable rather than theoretical. Adrianne has a direct, encouraging style that avoids the toxic positivity common in wellness business content. Her episode on using smart tech to streamline admin work is particularly practical for solo teachers drowning in scheduling, invoicing, and email. For yoga teachers who know they need to market themselves but cringe at the thought, this show offers a middle path.

Jessica Cross hosts this interview-focused podcast aimed at yoga teachers and wellness entrepreneurs who want to build sustainable businesses. With 115 episodes and a 5.0 rating from 17 listeners, the show brings on a new guest each week to discuss a specific aspect of running a yoga career. The range of topics is broader than the title suggests. Recent episodes have covered legal essentials for yoga teachers with an actual lawyer, diversifying income streams beyond group classes, and building a yoga business that you can take on the road. The legal episode alone is worth listening to because it addresses liability, contracts, and insurance questions that most teachers ignore until something goes wrong. Jessica keeps the conversations focused and practical. Episodes range from quick 17-minute takes to longer 70-minute discussions, depending on the topic. Her guest selection leans toward people with specific expertise rather than general yoga celebrities, which means you get actionable information from a studio owner in the trenches or a marketing specialist who actually works with wellness businesses. The weekly format keeps the content flowing, and the interview style means you get a fresh perspective with each episode.

Jeremy Devens draws on 14 years of teaching experience to create what is essentially a free continuing education program in podcast form. With 124 episodes and a 5.0 rating, the show covers the full spectrum of what a yoga teacher needs to know: anatomy, philosophy, meditation, sequencing, cueing, and business. His episode on four different ways to teach Sun Salutations is a good example of the practical depth here. Rather than giving you one approach, he walks through multiple options and explains when each one works best. The guest interviews bring in serious expertise, including Karen Fabian on sequencing and confidence, Ann Swanson discussing her book on the science of yoga, and a conversation about growing a yoga business online with a marketing professional. Jeremy also does solo episodes on topics like the yoga sutras and the science of stillness, and these tend to be more reflective and personal. The biweekly schedule means the show moves at a comfortable pace, and each episode feels considered rather than rushed. For anyone currently in a teacher training program or recently graduated, this podcast fills in the gaps that a 200-hour program inevitably leaves. The production quality is clean and the episodes are well-structured.

Holly from Yoga Hero created this podcast with a simple premise: combine business strategy, introspection, and yoga philosophy to help teachers earn a fair living without burning out. With 67 episodes and a perfect 5.0 rating, the show is smaller than some of the bigger names in this space but makes up for it with focused, useful content. The recent run of episodes on fascia is surprisingly thorough for a podcast, covering definitions, the relationship between fascia and the nervous system, and the connection between fascia and emotions across multiple episodes. Holly also gets practical about the business side, with a step-by-step guide on converting group class students into private yoga clients and advice on what to check when you start working at a new studio. The show includes Yoga Nidra recordings specifically designed for teachers, which is a thoughtful touch. The format is mostly solo with occasional guided practice content mixed in. The pacing is measured and the production is simple but clear. This is a UK-based podcast, which means some of the business advice will be more relevant to teachers working in that market, though the teaching craft content is universal. For teachers who want a smaller, more intimate show that balances the philosophical with the practical, this is a solid choice.

Jivana Heyman is one of the leading voices in accessible yoga, and this podcast serves as a companion to his book of the same name. With 36 episodes and a 5.0 rating, the show is intentionally focused on one thing: making yoga teachable to every body. Each episode features an interview with an expert yoga teacher on a specific topic, from teaching pranayama and meditation to working with wheelchair users and understanding trauma-sensitive approaches. The guest list is impressive. Kino MacGregor discusses the teacher-as-student dynamic, Tracee Stanley talks about teaching meditation, and Jason Crandell covers making asana accessible. What makes the show valuable is that these are not vague conversations about inclusion. The guests share specific modifications, language choices, and structural changes that teachers can implement immediately. Jivana brings a service-oriented perspective rooted in social justice, and the conversations explore equity in yoga without getting preachy about it. The show released its most recent batch of episodes in mid-2024, so it is not currently producing new content, but the archive functions as a focused curriculum on accessible teaching. For any yoga teacher who has ever had a student walk into class with a body or situation they were not trained for, which is basically every teacher, this is required listening.
