with Sarah TV Russell & Talle Hogrefe
We'll have a Cult Lite, please! Sarah confesses she accidentally almost joined a cult in the 90's, but hey, it was the 90's where anything goes. Like wearing thermals under shorts and having thin eyebrows. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/namasteandrosepodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/namasteandrosepodcast/support
Join Talle & Sarah as we catch up on our personal lives then dive deep into the slippery slope of cults.

Talle & Sarah discuss self care, Bud Light Seltzer's, and when being healthy goes too far in the name of Yoga. Add a drop of your fave essential oil into your diffuser, not in your mouth, and slap that sheet mask on your face while the gals take off the mask of a few concerning issues floating around the Yoga community. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/namasteandrosepodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/namasteandrosepodcast/support

Get ready for an argument....this topic can be polarizing, we admit, but as best friends, we were able to have an uncomfortable conversation about traveling and this whole COVID thing. Is it okay for yoga teachers to be teaching in person and leading retreats right now? Sarah is on her way to Costa Rica for some R&R and Talle does not think it's the responsible thing to do. Weigh in and tell us your thoughts. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/namasteandrosepodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/namasteandrosepodcast/support

We made a professional intro! Light a candle, and get comfy on your mat while your not so typical yogi cohosts take you on a wild ride to the darker side of yoga. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/namasteandrosepodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/namasteandrosepodcast/support
The gals ponder the role of a yoga teacher and what makes someone a yoga teacher anyway. Peeing in a romper is also discussed and seems of equal importance.
The gals rant about the joys of spiritual bypass and the prevalence of it in yoga, especially for those who haven't done their own work. Shed the BS and join the conversation.
First quarantine and now yoga studio scandals - the gals have Yoga Therapist Kristen Boyle on as a guest as they discuss #calloutkindness, a scandal that has rocked the Denver yoga scene but is merely a symptom of so many moving parts in yoga as a business.
The gals are back at it with an episode they recorded in January with their take on practicing yoga to music and the stereotypical yoga musician dude. Of course they get sidetracked by botox and body butter as the episode progressed because, ya know, wine. Grab a glass of rosé and enjoy some candid distractions. Note this episode was recorded prior to COVID19 scare and quarantining.
Today's pod takes you down the twisty path of the Peeping Tom of Hanuman Festival. Pour yourself of glass of rosé and get grossed out with the rest of us. Lower that anxiety with a pranayama practice to end today's listen.
Talle and Sarah rip apart a tweet by a business/life coach and discuss an article about our productivity and laziness in the time of COVID. And no one can say "toxic positivity" either.
Quarantine has set in and the ladies may be losin' it. In this episode, Talle and Sarah discuss the free yoga online option during this whole COVID-19 pandemic thing, rant about Tiger King, and share their unsolicited thoughts with you on things you probably don't even care about. Grab a glass or can and a yoga mat to listen in on this week's episode on lockdown.
Trigger Warning for those with sexual abuse in their past....Join Talle and Sarah for a quarantine-induced dark dive into an overview of the sex scandals of the yoga world with some laughs and messed up stories along the way.
Grab a glass of rosé and join the gals for a conversation about psychedelics and plant medicine with Marissa Gagliardi, Co-Founder of the Wild Medicine School. Marissa is also a winemaker and discusses the ins and outs of a real rosé and the process to make it happen. This episode was recorded in January 2020 prior to quarantine and before COVID-19 was so prevalent so please take the conversation under that context.
As Sarah & Talle practice yoga and social distancing, Talle takes the gals on a true crime yoga murder mystery.
Happy Valentine's Day from the loud yoga gals! Your gift is the Loving Awareness Meditation, one that is sure to expand your heart and offer a relaxing time, no matter what your plans may be.
Welcome to the pod's first book club! The gals fumble and giggle their way through Deborah Adele's Book, The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice. Be a part of the fun by reading the book, emailing in your thoughts and joining the conversation on Facebook, or even, *GASP* be a guest on the show to share what you got out of the book. Join us in January for Bill Dorigan's, A Manual For Wellbeing, Using Yoga to Enrich Your Life.
Yoga pants aren't even a thing any more - the Namaste Gals just call them pants. We wear them to work, to workout, to the bar and on road trips. How did this whole yoga pants phenomenon happen? And how many do you have in your closet?
Talle and Sarah have stuff they need to get done, so over a glass of rosé, bath bombs and essential oils, they share a quick story or two about how the yoga community comes full circle.
If you want to creep into a private call between the rosé gals, Sarah shares a little bit about her retreat on Bali.
They are cover models on yoga zines, dominate social media and get paid way more than us at festivals, but are they really that good? What's the deal with how teachers rise to the top these days?
Some people are just dicks. You don't have to be. Talle and Sarah discuss the top pet peeves of both teachers and students when it comes to yoga etiquette so there are no excuses for your bad behavior at your next class.
Today's podcast is a follow up to Episode 10 and continues to expand on what it takes to be a yoga teacher in this industry where the line is blurred between business and pleasure. Talle and Sarah share tips, stories and as always, digress about the strangest things. Enjoy a wonderful restorative asana at the end: Legs Up the Wall.
This week's conversation scratches the surface of what it’s like to have a yoga business. This one is the first of several episodes in which Talle and Sarah digress over and over again to finally make a point about what is needed to be a yoga teacher.
It ain't always authentic, so stop using this fucking word! Excuses for bad behavior and saying rude shit in the name of speaking truth, but here’s the thing, your truth doesn’t get to stomp all over everyone else. Here are Talle & Sarah's digressed stories of overused yogi-isms. And done. Namaste.
Talle and Sarah sit down with Neurosculpting® Facilitator, Beth Blaskovich, and get real nerdy about brain science and the effectiveness of this type of meditation and the compliment it has to a yoga practice. Get ready to learn real good.
Talle & Sarah can't pull it together all the time so this week you get to enjoy a Tension Release Meditation, and we hope this compliments your yoga practice, wine drinking and gets rid of the stress that we sure have this week.
We love Asian French Fusion cuisine so wine not? Yoga Scupt, Yoga Shape, BUTI Yoga, Spin-Yasa, YogaCycle, Plyoga, YogaShred, the list goes on. Is it really yoga?
Join Sarah and Talle for a quick headstand yoga practice through this tutorial. It's a great little warm up and then pop into that pose!
None of us are perfect, that’s for sure. But how do we deal with the judgment we get from others when it comes to our yoga practice and getting through life?
If you threw a rock in your local coffee shop, it would bounce off of at least three yoga teacher trainees…is this even sustainable? And more importantly, how is it going to be regulated.
Happy Meditation Monday! Enjoy this fun meditation with NYC Comedian, Brett Hiker. You may learn something about finding your meditation seat....and Sister Act 2.
You have a body. Do yoga. Good job. Now you have a yoga body.
Sarah & Talle explore the trends that get people into yoga and they are anything but traditional…breweries, farms, coffee shops and the-anything-but-yoga-studio yoga classes...and you know they get off topic after a rosé or two.
Sarah and Talle sit down for some canned rosé to talk yoga with NYC Comedian Brett Hiker, who has actually never done a single down dog…until today.
Sarah and Talle have long been vehemently opposed to hot yoga but as the years keep ticking by they are falling for the sweat on the mat, but don’t tell anyone.
A podcast dedicated to a comedic take on the darker side of the yoga biz. Really we are two friends doing handstands, drinking wine & spilling stories. In this episode Sarah & Talle are totally new to all this and trying to figure it out. This is a little intro to who we are, how we met, and where we are going on this ride.
