The first podcast Meiyan and I did was back in 2020 (See episode 29). Now, four years later, her house still remains as brightly coloured as ever, and the ambient noises are still as immersive, with the rain making a guest appearance once more. In this episode, we mostly catch up and reminisce about the good old days when we were young, though perhaps not so wild or free. How the past couple of years have been for us, our relationship with yoga and how it’s changed, oh and some other stuff about me almost getting her killed, the usual… Stuff we talked about:  Catching up Contemplations on life and yoga Teacher Training stories and our time at HOM Reflecting on the past and wanting to connect Our relationship with yoga and how it’s changed Yoga, gym, going back to HOMThe absurdity of being “exactly where you need to be Balance of Feminine and Masculine Leaving the yoga world behind The hedgehog’s dilemma My black-black energy and how Meiyan always scolds me Human design and Meiyan’s bright bright house Playing with the meow meows Hating yourself / Loving yourself More catching up… More contemplations on life and yoga Fortune Teller’s predictions and the time I almost killed Meiyan My unfathomable loyalty to her Borrowing money and having kids To another 10 more years of friendship,Aaron   [Rest in peace Roku, your gentle presence and stoic strength will always be remembered.]   ------------------------------------ Follow Meiyan on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bohospiritmei/ ------------------------------------ SUPPORT THE PODCAST :) https://ko-fi.com/mostlyyoga  FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/aaaroning/ https://www.instagram.com/mostlyyogapodcast/ ------------------------------------

Get ready to dive deep into your own inner framework, in the hopes to better understand both yourself and the others around you, as we explore the secrets behind our individual  personalities.

Sita has grown to be one of my good friends over the past few years, especially during the peak of the pandemic, when I was recovering from a blown out knee, and when morning Mysore was the only class that wasn’t fully booked all the time. I got to experience the magic of Mysore for myself during that time, which helped give me a bit of a routine, as well as a lovely community that help hold space for me.  Every so often we’d meet to catch up and I’d enjoy the conversations we had. I’ve asked her to do this poddy with me for years now so when she finally agreed to, I was very excited. So I’m excited to share it with you now as well.⠀⁣Stuff we talked about:⠀ Life before yoga Struggling to belong Growing up in Iran, Japan, Thailand  Life as a photojournalist  Yoga in India Experiencing Mysore Principles of Ashtanga  Showing up is the hardest part Life as an Ashtangi Mysore Magic Thanks everyone for always tuning in, Aaron ------------------------------------ Follow Sita on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/shosita/ ------------------------------------ SUPPORT THE PODCAST :) https://ko-fi.com/mostlyyoga  FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/aaaroning/ https://www.instagram.com/mostlyyogapodcast/ ------------------------------------ SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS  BC FLOWSTATE (Movement and Fitness Coach) Rediscover the way you move, feel and perform through the use of natural and authentic movements that can help you build strength, regain mobility and reconnect yourself with your physical body.  INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/bc_flowstate/

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 adaptive and accessible to the everyone.   ------------------------------------ Follow Wendy on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/wenyoga/  Check out her InsightTimer here: https://insighttimer.com/wenyoga  Follow Yoga Seeds on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/yogaseeds/  Dates for upcoming Teacher Trainings here: https://yogaseeds.com.sg/teacher-training/  And learn more about Yoga Circle here: https://yogacircle.sg/  https://www.instagram.com/yogacirclesg/  ------------------------------------ SUPPORT THE PODCAST :) https://ko-fi.com/mostlyyoga  FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/aaaroning/ https://www.instagram.com/mostlyyogapodcast/ ------------------------------------ SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS  BC FLOWSTATE (Movement and Fitness Coach) Rediscover the way you move, feel and perform through the use of natural and authentic movements that can help you build strength, regain mobility and reconnect yourself with your physical body.  INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/bc_flowstate/ RED DOT CHILLI PEPPERS (For the love of all things spicy on our little red dot!)

"If you’re a stressed-out cog in the corporate wheel or you’ve ever asked yourself the questions "what am I doing and why am I doing it?" this show is for you!" Well, not this show, but The Yoga Den Podcast of course! It was a great honour to be on your show Ryan. Thanks again for having me on.  Hope you enjoy listening to it.  Aaron ------------------------------------ Welcome to Episode 16 of The Yoga Den Podcast. Whatever you're thinking of doing, just start. Don't overthink it. Don't look too far ahead, just start. And if you can just start, take a step every day, be consistent, you'll be surprised at the progress you make. But for a lot of us, we get into our own heads and are held hostage by our limiting beliefs. And this is something I talk about with this week's guest, Aaron Tan. Aaron is a yoga teacher, podcaster and former copywriter in the ad world.  I was pleased when Aaron agreed to come on the show and what was interesting about this conversation is that it went in a slightly different direction to what I had initially planned. We talked about his trek in Nepal that ended with a blizzard, about teaching yoga,  about life in the ad world, and we also talked about podcasting. But we tied all of those things together to the subject of this week's PSA, just start. I'm sure you'll take some great lessons away from what Aaron has to say.  ------------------------------------ Follow Ryan online here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanspenceyoga/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryanspenceyoga Website: https://ryanspenceyoga.com/ ------------------------------------

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 poddy, we talked about the Doshas, the 3 Guṇas, overcoming our negative samskaras, and creating a safe space for practice.  ------------------------------------ Follow Meiyan on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/maesummernight/  https://www.instagram.com/lighthouseadv.co/  https://www.instagram.com/usthehippies/  ------------------------------------ SUPPORT THE PODCAST :) https://ko-fi.com/mostlyyoga  FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/aaaroning/ https://www.instagram.com/mostlyyogapodcast/ ------------------------------------ SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS  BC FLOWSTATE (Movement and Fitness Coach) Rediscover the way you move, feel and perform through the use of natural and authentic movements that can help you build strength, regain mobility and reconnect yourself with your physical body.  INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/bc_flowstate/ RED DOT CHILLI PEPPERS (For the love of all things spicy on our little red dot!)

The problem with labels is that it limits us to whatever we decide to define as who we are. And it bounds us unintentionally to live or to be a certain way in order to maintain these expectations of yourself. 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. ------------------------------------ Follow Shirlyn on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/shir1yn/  ------------------------------------ SUPPORT THE PODCAST :) https://ko-fi.com/mostlyyoga  FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/aaaroning/ https://www.instagram.com/mostlyyogapodcast/ ------------------------------------ SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS  BC FLOWSTATE (Movement and Fitness Coach) Rediscover the way you move, feel and perform through the use of natural and authentic movements that can help you build strength, regain mobility and reconnect yourself with your physical body.  INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/bc_flowstate/ RED DOT CHILLI PEPPERS (For the love of all things spicy on our little red dot!)
