All right, it's done. I just hit record. You just hit play. And here we are. This is Jay Brown

Yoga Talks podcast.

My name is Jay Brown,

and if you are listening for the first time today,

let me welcome you.

Everyone else,

what's up?

How are we feeling?

I'm curious,

how many of you who are teaching yoga classes on the regular, think of yourself as having a career as a yoga teacher.

And how would you define success?

Do you have a successful career as a yoga teacher? What would be the rubric by which you would

determine that? I'm asking because I find myself experiencing what when I was growing up, they would call a midlife crisis.

Although I'm not really experiencing it as a crisis, but that's what they would call it.

I remember when I was growing up in the 80s, there was sort of a narrative or something

you would observe happening where

somebody's dad in their early 50s would like divorce their mom and like buy themselves the

red sports car that they always wanted to buy that their wife wouldn't let them and

you know, they would like question their whole identity at the sort of midpoint or whatever,

what we kind of think of as a midpoint in our life.

So they midlife crisis.

You don't hear that expression around much these days anymore.
