Listen if…you’re a yoga teacher or devoted yogi
Why we love it:
A Yoga Journal alum with years of both yoga and journalism under her belt, Andrea Ferretti dives into the topics that yogis care about most. Her guests often include world-class teachers, such as Alexandria Crow, Bo Forbes, Maty Ezraty, and Ferretti’s husband, Jason Crandell. Listen for thorough and engaging conversations about all things yoga from the perspective of top teachers with years of experience.
The inspiration:
“My initial reason for starting the podcast is that I had interviewed so many amazing, insightful teachers in my years at Yoga Journal and I wanted to share those conversations,” Ferretti says. “I like the raw, unedited format of a long-form podcast. And one of my favorite parts of being an editor is the reporting. So, creating this podcast brought together all of my passions—yoga, journalism, and simply connecting with interesting people.”

Jacki Carr and Mary Beth LaRue’s silly and relatable conversations feel like you’re grabbing coffee with your best girlfriends. Rock Your Bliss connects through a feminine power to share the stories and inspirations of women doing amazing things in the yoga and wellness world.
The inspiration:
“We were inspired by the real and raw conversations we were having in our workshops (both online and in person), on our retreats and with one another,” LaRue says. “We truly believe in the power of vulnerability and authenticity and our podcast is a celebration of just that, a type of living we call “blisscrafting.” The podcast is truly an extension of our conversations in a coffee shop or curled up on the couch or in our long-distance friendship. No editing allowed because there’s so much beauty in being human.”

Listen if…you want more than yoga and wellness topics
Why we love it:
ESPNW sports writer Kate Fagan and longtime YJ contributor Kathryn Budig‘s chemistry is fun, witty, and a breath of fresh air, compared with some more serious yogic podcasts we’ve listened to. These two find a way to merge sports and yoga into a thoughtful conversation that never gets boring.
The inspiration:
“My girlfriend and I were constantly tackling in-depth topics for hours, and we finally thought—why don’t we do this on a podcast?” Budig says. “Combine her background in sports, mine in wellness, and an added dose of our wild curiosity for all the truths brewing beneath the surface. We also love to laugh and have a great banter—thus Free Cookies was born!”
