Summary
There's no doubt that Covid-19 has changed the current landscape of how we practice and teach yoga. On this special episode (recorded live via Zoom with Jason's recent online teacher trainees), Jason and I talk through about the important conversations that will need to happen between studio owners and yoga teachers as things open up. We also talk about how this time of uncertainty calls creates space for creativity. And lastly to my yoga teachers: Please start your own email newsletter. And send it consistently. This is my wish for you. ❤️

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, I'm Andrea Ferretti, and this is episode 196 of Yoga Land. |
| 0:04.6 | This episode was a little bit of an experiment. |
| 0:10.8 | We usually do live episodes when Jason is leading a teacher |
| 0:14.8 | training module in San Francisco. He recently led a teacher training module that was |
| 0:20.6 | supposed to be held in San Francisco but we did it online we did |
| 0:23.2 | it remotely so this episode we did live quote-unquote live with our students via |
| 0:28.9 | live stream via Zoom so it was fun and we did get to answer some questions in the chat. The focus of the |
| 0:35.9 | episode was really just on our thoughts on how COVID-19 is impacting our community, |
| 0:44.2 | specifically just in terms of how studios |
| 0:47.4 | are going to reopen, how that might affect |

| 1:08.0 | and a live stream at the same time, |
| 1:09.4 | because we're sort of imagining that that will be |
| 1:12.4 | what's happening in the near future. |
| 1:14.0 | He has done a lot of teaching for GLO where he's teaching a classroom full of people |
| 1:20.0 | and yet he's also relating to the camera so we talk about that and I give my little |
| 1:26.0 | pitch for why I think it's so important for yoga teachers to focus on their own |
