Amy Ippoliti talks with J about being in the right place at the right time, at the cusp of yoga’s entrance into the mainstream, through the rise and fall of the Anusara popularity, and the path to healing and learning in the aftermath of the scandal. They swap some tales of the early NY scene, get into the real story behind why Anusara fell apart, compare the time that they came into to teaching with some of the realities that new teachers are facing today, and find shared purpose in their love of yoga and passion for helping people.

0:00.0	Okay. How are you? What's going on, everybody? This is Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown,
0:19.3	and I would like to welcome and or thank you for choosing to spend some of your time listening to this.
0:28.6	I really appreciate it. I want to thank those of you who sent me some emails after last week when I expressed some insecurities. Many of you came to my support and
0:41.0	can't thank you enough. It's really, it's lovely to know that you're out there and that you're
0:46.4	listening and that you're getting something from this. Please, if you're ever so inspired to
0:52.1	want to say something to me back, I invite you to do so.
0:57.6	I want to be able to tell you, those of you who've been following along with me, that this week
1:04.4	was much better than last week, but you know what? I can't say that it was. If you remember, I mentioned that my wife got called
1:14.4	for some work, which basically took her out of town for three days. So I was solo parenting on top of my
1:21.4	already over-extended schedule. It was quite brutal. I just don't even know how single parents do it.
1:30.9	And I had all kinds of stuff already scheduled for that time. I recorded two podcasts with
1:38.0	very high profile people. And frankly, it's not that I'm like starstruck when I get to talk to somebody with a higher profile.

1:52.2	You know, like when I know somebody or there are podcasts, listen, or just like a fellow teacher,
1:59.6	it's one thing, but when it's like a big name person that I've
2:04.1	heard of, there's like a thing in my mind and I feel like I have to really bring my A game
2:08.4	and I want to be prepared and be in my best state of mind, but are you kidding? I was like dumping
2:15.0	the kids off at the babysitter and rushing to meet them.
2:18.7	So it wasn't like I got to be in my optimal place. But you know what? The conversation still went great.
2:25.8	I'm really excited to tell you about some of the conversations that are going to be happening.
2:31.7	I will tip you off on that on the other side.
2:36.5	But what really happened this week that I'm having to reckon with is that when my wife
