This episode’s guest Juju Stulbach was a dancer before she became a yoga teacher. Juju grew up in Brazil and moved to NYC in her late teens. On her first New Year's Eve in the city, she had an auspicious encounter with the Jivamukti Yoga studio on Lafayette St. That moment eventually landed her at the 2011 Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training, where I met her.

Our conversation is a meditation on the coreography and songlike structure of a group yoga class. We also talk about how memory lives in the body, how to see the potential in your students, and how to find ease in your practice.
