After a two-week break (and a whole lot of pre-recording), Giana and Bradshaw are finally back together for a much-needed catch-up episode, and a lot has happened!

Donation-Based Yoga: Does It Actually Work? This week on The Funny Thing About Yoga , we're tackling a topic we've been talking about recently and wondering how to do intelligently: donation-based yoga classes. Can they actually work? Should yoga be free? Is there a way to make classes more accessible and still cover overhead and get paid? In this episode, we explore donation-based models in both in-person and online spaces, share examples of studios and teachers we've seen make it work (and oth
