The 16 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.

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.

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.

Shannon Crow has spent years building one of the most steady, useful weekly shows for yoga teachers, and the back catalogue alone is worth the subscription. With nearly 400 episodes in the archive, this is the kind of podcast you can pull from depending on what you're wrestling with that week. Pricing private clients? There's an episode. Trying to teach pelvic health responsibly? There's a few. Wondering whether you should incorporate or stay a sole proprietor? She covered it. Shannon brings on guest experts across business, anatomy, philosophy and accessibility, and she asks the kind of practical questions a working teacher actually wants answered, not the puffy industry stuff. Her interview style is warm but not gushy. She lets guests finish their thoughts, follows up when something is unclear, and isn't afraid to say she disagrees. The show leans business and professional development more than asana, which is exactly what most teachers need after a 200-hour training drops them into the deep end with no marketing skills. Heads up that the show is winding down after a long run, but the existing library is genuinely a reference shelf for the profession. Start with whatever topic is keeping you up at night and work backward.

Kelly McHugh runs Digital Yoga Academy, and this podcast is essentially the audio version of her business coaching for yoga teachers who'd rather not starve. That sounds blunt, but so is Kelly. She doesn't pretend that good intentions and a beautiful Instagram grid will pay your rent. Episodes tend to be short, focused, and tactical, which is refreshing in a niche that often drifts into vague affirmations. You'll get specifics: how to structure a course launch, what to actually charge for a workshop, why your email list matters more than your follower count, how to write a sales page without feeling sleazy. The catalogue is over 200 episodes deep at this point, with monthly updates, so it's stayed alive through the various platform changes that have wrecked other people's business models. Kelly's take on marketing is that you don't need to choose between being helpful and being paid, which she illustrates with examples from her own students. Some episodes are interviews with yoga teachers running real businesses, and those tend to be the most useful because you hear actual numbers and actual mistakes. If business stuff makes you queasy, this is a gentle but unsentimental place to start.

Cora Geroux taught yoga full-time for over a decade and ran her own studio before pivoting to coaching other teachers, and that experience shows up in every episode. She's been in the room when the rent went up, when a co-teacher quit mid-quarter, when a student complained about the heat. So when she talks about pricing or niching or building a sustainable practice, it doesn't sound like theory borrowed from a generic small business book. The show is roughly weekly and currently sits at around 130 episodes. Cora interviews other yoga professionals who've built real careers, and she pushes them on the parts most podcasts skip, like how they actually got their first paying clients, what they cut when something wasn't working, and how they handled burnout without quitting. Her own solo episodes lean instructional and tend to give you something to act on by the end. The vibe is calm and conversational, not hype-y. One nice thing is that she takes the online business side seriously without dismissing in-person teaching as outdated. Worth a listen if you've been teaching a while and want to make it sustainable for the long haul rather than treating it as a side gig forever.

This is a smaller, quieter podcast than most on this list, and that's kind of the point. Rajni Sharron teaches meditation and yoga, and her show is built around the unglamorous question of what it actually means to be present while you're guiding a room full of students who are tired, distracted, or hurting. There's no business hustle here, no marketing funnels, no talk about scaling. Instead Rajni works through things like how silence functions in a class, why your nervous system matters more than your cueing, and how to stop performing presence and just have it. Episodes are monthly and on the shorter side, which suits the topic. The catalogue is small, around seven episodes at the time of writing, so you can listen through it in an afternoon. Some teachers will find this too soft or too inward; others will find it the only podcast that talks about the part of teaching they actually struggle with. If you've ever stood at the front of a class feeling like a fraud who memorized cues, this one might be useful. Rajni's voice is steady and unhurried, which sounds obvious for a meditation teacher but is rarer than you'd think.

Sandy Raper has been teaching yoga for more than twenty years and mentoring other teachers for nearly as long, and this show is basically what she'd tell you if you cornered her at a training and asked the questions you were too embarrassed to raise in front of the group. How do you keep teaching when you're tired of your own sequences? What do you do when a student stops showing up and you don't know why? How do you build confidence without faking it? Sandy answers these directly, often pulling from her own classes and her book Teaching From the Heart. The podcast updates weekly and has grown to around 184 episodes as of early 2026, so there's a deep back catalogue worth mining. She mixes solo episodes with interviews, and the interviews lean toward other long-time teachers rather than influencer types, which keeps the conversations grounded. Her tone is encouraging without being saccharine, and she's clearly more interested in helping you stay in this work for decades than in selling you a quick fix. A good fit for newer teachers who feel wobbly and for veteran teachers who need a reminder of why they started.
