If you’ve ever taught a class and thought, “What am I even doing?” — you’re not alone.

In our first episode together, Ula and Brea share their real, raw, and often hilarious stories from their early days of teaching yoga. From bringing a notebook to class to being completely unprepared for students with injuries, we’ve been there.
