Yoga(ish): Adult Braces, New Hobbies & A Horse Named Namaste

Jason’s getting Invisalign. Andrea’s diving into writing. Our daughter just got a new horse named… Namaste. Yep. It’s a lot. 🤣

In this episode of Yoga(ish), we get personal—talking about self-consciousness as yoga teachers, how our jobs shape our confidence, and why getting adult braces feels way more vulnerable than it should. We also dive into Andrea’s new writing project, her experience in a creative writing group, and the struggles of finding a new horse for our daughter’s riding journey.

And of course, we wrap things up with our latest pop culture deep dive—what we’re watching, our love for great storytelling, and a tribute to some of the best comedy shows ever. (Spoiler: Andrea has watched every episode of Workaholics. Twice.)

Reggie shares his journey with us, serving as an example of how we can continue to navigate all that life throws our way with a sense of resilience and purpose.
