Reika shares her own journey of not fitting the "yoga teacher mold" and the insecurities that came with it, and how she's learned to show up confidently as she is. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that yoga teachers come in all shapes, sizes, ages, backgrounds, and levels of ability, and that showing up as your authentic self is powerful. Whether you're an aspiring teacher or a seasoned one, this episode will remind you why your voice and presence in the yoga world matter.
