Softness Is Not Weakness — Tara Stiles
Episode 146
Wednesday, 14 October, 2026

Adam Husler sits down on ep.146 with Tara Stiles, co-founder of Strala Yoga, bestselling author and one of the most recognisable voices in modern yoga, to explore an idea that sounds simple but challenges much of modern wellness culture: softness.For Tara, softness isn’t weakness or avoiding difficult things. It is the absence of unnecessary rigidity, using the energy you actually need, staying connected to yourself and learning to work hard without adding extra tension simply because struggle feels productive.They discuss no-pain-no-gain culture, burnout, ageing, yoga versus Pilates, wellness extremism and the pressure to continually optimise our bodies. The conversation also moves into yoga’s history of gurus, abusive adjustments and unhealthy communities, how students can recognise red flags, and why real-world friendships and community can protect us from becoming trapped inside any one system. @tarastilesJoin Tara & Adam at the Om Yoga Show at London's iconic Alexandra Palace, taking place 16th - 18th October + use Adam25 for 25% offMAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW US@adamhusler - https://tr.ee/b8QKyF@centredstates - https://tr.ee/i1PXpTPERKS FOR YOU10% off Liforme yoga matswith code HUSLER1010% off expert validated wellbeing brand at Healfvia this link10% off Colorful Standard clothingwith code ADAMHUSLERCS1020% offVivobarefoot shoeswith code ADAMHUSLER1515% off premium activewear brand Now You Live with code HUSLER15
