Tue Feb 03 2026
Join Jivana Heyman and Deanna Michalopoulos for the final episode of the Accessible Yoga Podcast’s fourth season, celebrating Jivana's 30 years of teaching. In this reflective conversation, Deanna turns the tables and interviews Jivana about his journey, asking him to answer the paramount question posed to every guest throughout the season, “What is one teaching that's made an impact on your life and continues to today?”
The episode offers an intimate look at what this yearlong series has meant, with heartfelt gratitude to the guests, team, sponsors, and listeners who made it possible. The conversation ends with appreciation for everyone who has been part of this journey and the promise of returning after a short break with a new season.

Non-attachment and selfless service
Yoga as preparation for death
The transformative impact of yoga practice and teaching
How service benefits both the giver and the receiver
Yoga as a living tradition passed down through generations
The future of yoga and the yoga community
Hope for moving beyond capitalism toward collective kindness
