Spiritual Autopsy Podcast
Spiritual Autopsy is a short voice series I created, examining what dies when we keep taking spiritual advice from men. In the opening episode, I Don’t Take Spiritual Advice from Men, I unravel decades spent inside systems that demanded my disappearance in the name of devotion. Part memoir, part reckoning, part reclamation, this podcast is a cutting open of what’s been called sacred to ask: sacred to whom? And at what cost?
Inspiration Is a Product. Transformation Is a Threat. – I Don’t Take Spiritual Advice from Men
What if the wellness industry's most beloved and famous names can't actually help you? In this episode, Mags breaks down why universal appeal and real transformation are structurally incompatible…and why that's not just a business problem. From Oprah, Joe Dispenza, etc to your popular neighborhood yoga studio, she examines how scaling inspiration requires silence on the things that matter most: power, abuse, systemic harm, genocide, geopolitics. If nobody's ever upset with you, or confused/challenged by what you're saying, you're not saying anything real. This episode is for the people who are ready to stop being "almost healed".About Magnolia Zuniga: Magnolia Zuniga is a former Certified Ashtanga yoga teacher and one of only 20 women worldwide who were certified by the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute (KPJAYI) before publicly walking away from the lineage. After abuse allegations against Pattabhi Jois became public, she stopped teaching Ashtanga sequences and lost her certification—choosing survivor solidarity over professional advancement. She now teaches at ABQ Yoga Lab in Albuquerque, New Mexico, focusing on decolonizing yoga practice, recognizing cult dynamics in spiritual communities, and building accountability in yoga spaces. She speaks publicly about institutional abuse, guru culture, and what yoga becomes when you remove the harmful power structures.
