A 3STEPYOGA PODCAST
Ancient practice.
Modern questions. Honest conversations.
Yoga does not exist outside real life.
It lives inside changing bodies, complicated relationships, imperfect classrooms, evolving communities, and a world the ancient teachings could never have predicted.
Modern Yoga Talks explores what happens when yoga meets the reality of being human today. Hosted by Jules Dadulo-McDonald, each conversation examines teaching, movement, philosophy, identity, healing, professional practice, and the questions that do not come with simple answers.

EPISODE 3
Navigating the Yoga Industry:
Online, In-Person & Everything in Between
In this conversation, Miss Adell Bridges shares her personal journey into yoga, discussing her transition from a practitioner to a teacher and the challenges she faced along the way. She emphasizes the importance of authenticity in teaching and the role of social media in connecting with a wider audience. Adell also delves into the intricacies of building a yoga business, particularly during the pandemic, and offers insights on balancing personal life with a demanding career. The discussion highlights the art of sequencing in yoga classes and the significance of staying inspired and connected with students.
Yoga has always evolved through conversations.
Some episodes explore teaching and professional growth. Others move into philosophy, spirituality, trauma, identity, healing, business, and the strange contradictions of modern wellness culture.
Modern Yoga Talks brings together yoga teachers, practitioners, educators, authors, movement professionals, and thoughtful humans willing to examine the practice honestly.
This is not a space for pretending yoga has all the answers. It is a space for asking better questions.
