What Your Yoga Teacher Wishes You Knew

In this very special 100th episode of Deepen Your Yoga Practice, Lauren Leduc reflects on the heart of yoga after years of conversations exploring philosophy, anatomy, nervous system science, meditation, ethics, spirituality, teacher training, and more.

To celebrate this milestone, Lauren asked True Love Yoga teachers and 300-hour trainees one simple question:

“What is something you wish your students knew?”

The answers were deeply aligned and beautifully human.

In this episode, Lauren explores themes of belonging, self-acceptance, autonomy, breath, nervous system awareness, compassion, and the reminder that yoga is not about becoming perfect — it’s about becoming more honest, aware, and connected while fully inside your humanity.

This episode is a love letter to students, teachers, community, and the evolving practice of yoga itself.

In This Episode:

Why you already belong in yoga spaces

The importance of autonomy and modifying practices

Self-acceptance as the practice itself

Learning to listen to your body

Why breath matters more than you think
