How Josh Blatter blends yoga, mindfulness, and service—from the studio to the UN

This week, I’m joined by yoga teacher and global mindfulness facilitator Josh Blatter. We talk about his teaching journey—from the yoga studio to his work with Peace on Purpose, a program that supports United Nations staff working in some of the most high-pressure environments in the world.


Josh shares:

  • Why questioning long-held beliefs is vital for yoga teachers
  • Studying in the Viniyoga lineage and the individualized approach to yoga
  • What it was like to study at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai
  • How Vedic Chant is a powerful part of his personal practice -- and how challenging it is to learn
  • Peace on Purpose and his recent trips to Bangladesh and Pakistan
  • How Josh teaches in high-stress environments and how cultural sensitivity shapes the work
  • Advice for yoga teachers on staying inspired, grounded, and financially afloat
  • A guiding principle for sustainable teaching and caregiving (this one's a huge lightbulb moment for me!)


Thank you, as always, for listening and sharing the podcast.
