Hi everyone, welcome to the Let's Talk Yoga podcast. I hope you are doing well. On the show today,

we have one of our most favorite guests back, Prasad Rangneker. He needs no introduction on this podcast.

If you have been a long time listener, you would have heard Prasad on the show many times

over talking about a whole range of different topics.

And Prasad and I have a lot of offline conversations about yoga teachers, the teaching yoga

journey, the life of just this balance of being a student and a teacher.

And we actually have a similar wavelength and

nerd out about some of these things. So what you will hear today is a conversation between us

about balancing the roles of being a yoga teacher and that of a student. Because it's a genuine

problem. A lot of yoga teachers and asana teachers,

they struggle to maintain that fine balance of being a lifelong student

while also navigating the commercial yoga world.

So we get into a conversation about just,

is it a problem of over identifying with one role?

What about FOMO and Imposter Syndrome?

And then we re-contextualize the role of a teacher in 2023 because it's very different today than what it was a long time ago.

What are some practices or safeguards you can put in to help yourself?

We talk a lot about the ethics of teaching yoga.

Prasad mentions different levels of teachers, some philosophical concepts that you can hold

on to on this journey.

So it's an open-ended conversation.

There is so much we could go into, but I'm hoping this conversation will give you some
