Summary

Genny Wilkinson, co-founder of Mission, talks with J about what has happened to yoga centers, lessons learned, and the new space that she is opening. They discuss why she departed from triYoga and the role she played there, the reasons why so many centers had to close, the genesis of the new center and what they are doing differently, dismantling elitism, transparency and honor around both pricing and teacher pay, online vs in person classes, and the need to orchestrate human interaction after the hangover of so many years in isolation.

1:19.5	I don't think I want this show to be in video form.
1:23.5	Even if it is on YouTube, I'd want it to stay just as an audio, I think.
1:29.1	Because I feel like it's more intimate, or it asks something of us that's different.
1:36.4	And I will admit, I do both.
1:38.3	I listen to podcast just as audio, and there are a few that I will watch as video.

1:48.2	not like a Zoom meeting.
1:50.0	Although I've watched recorded Zooms too.
1:53.0	But for me, there's something really different about having it be audio.
