In this episode of the Yoga Inspiration Podcast, Kino MacGregor explores one of yoga's most enduring questions: Do we need a teacher? Through personal stories, classical yoga philosophy, and reflections on lineage, she looks at the role of the teacher as guide, the responsibility of the student, and the importance of discernment on the spiritual path.
From the Bhagavad Gītā to the modern yoga classroom, this conversation explores how trust, humility, dialogue, and lived experience shape the teacher-student relationship. Kino reflects on the difference between guidance and authority, why teachers are not infallible, and how a healthy relationship with a teacher should strengthen rather than replace a student's own awareness and agency.
This episode is an exploration of yoga philosophy, spiritual guidance, lineage, and what it means to keep the teachings alive while allowing them to remain relevant in a contemporary practice.
