30. Wendy Chan - Meditations abroad, inclusivity in yoga and making yoga accessible to the "inaccessible"

In reality, there is no such thing as a perfect yoga body. Yoga is for everybody, and every body is a yoga body. It's common to think of inclusion as something that has to do with integrating others into our space. But instead, it starts from ourselves and our own level of awareness, openness, and understanding of the subject. If Diversity is a fact, Inclusion is an action. In this poddy, we talked about her meditation stories from abroad, the inclusivity of yoga and what it means to make yoga a...

29. Meiyan Cheong - Making students feel safe, exploring samskaras and being aware of the stories we tell ourselves

Humans are great storytellers. But sometimes the stories we tell ourselves end up hurting us more than helping. Creating these narratives are perfectly natural — we do it all the time. The trouble comes when we're no longer aware of the stories and how they shape the way we feel, behave and understand the world around us. Perhaps one of the most revealing episode I've done so far. Thank you Meiyan for opening up, sharing your experiences and creating a safe space everyone around you. In this pod...

27. Shirlyn Tan - Redefining yourself, embracing transformation and learning to reconnect with both our students and ourselves

The problem with labels is that it limits us to whatever we decide to define as who we are.

Having recently completed her second 200-hr yoga teacher training with my teacher Leigh (Episode #11 of the pod), Shirlyn’s shares with us a little bit about her personal shift as a teacher, the art v.s. the craft of teaching, and what it means to redefine yourself. ------------------------...
