Hi everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Let's Talk Yoga podcast. I want to start

this episode with a story from my Praniama teacher training. I am so used to saying,

hi everyone, welcome to another episode of the Let's Talk Yoga podcast. That last week when I

logged in to teach my Praniama teacher training, I went in and said,

hi everyone, welcome to the let's talk yoga podcast, only because I am so used to welcome everyone

and let's talk yoga being in the same sentence. Anyway, I hope you are doing well. I am sitting down to record this solo episode

for you and I wanted to share a big milestone that you and I have hit together. Early last week,

the Let's Talk Yoga podcast surpassed a million downloads and now reaches listeners in over

220 countries and territories. And let that sink in for a moment. What an incredible feat this is.

What an incredible community we are and we may never meet each other face to face, but we exist in all parts of the globe.

And I like to think of you as this dedicated sweet army of yoga teachers, yoga students, who are on this mission committed to growing, learning and spreading the goodness of yoga in the

most authentic, sincere way possible. So I wanted to just give you a shout out. This wouldn't

have been possible without you. When I first started the Let's Talk Yoga podcast, I told myself that

if it's terrible, I will just

delete it off the internet and nobody will ever know. And I really thought that we would

stop this podcast at about 20 episodes at best. I didn't think I had it in me to create this much

content.

And here we are close to 180 episodes, a million downloads and growing.

So I have only you to thank.

I really do this for you.

I sit here in this empty office of mine with this microphone week after week.

And it's really my way of connecting with you
