Gina Clingerman | Podmasana | Ep. 5
Gina Clingerman discovered yoga through borrowed VHS tapes, never imagining it would save her life. Entering her 200-hour training while navigating profound depression, she sought steadier ground—not a teaching career. Over 12 years, she’s evolved from using power flow to escape trauma to embracing slower, trauma-informed practices that invite compassion over judgment. With backgrounds in English literature, Native American studies, and anthropology, Gina brings scholarly curiosity to questions of what it means to be fully human. Her teaching philosophy: you don’t have to be perfect, you just have to be good. And you already are.
