I had such a lovely time chatting with Nicole during this episode. She shared about her experiences with birth, balancing motherhood with yoga and everyday life, as well as some tips that I think might give future mommies some useful insight into preparing for the big day.
Stuff we talked about:⠀
- Teaching experiences
- Practicing yoga while pregnant
- Transitioning to motherhood
- Healing from labour
- The ‘pain’ of giving birth
- Postpartum blues
- Taking care of yourself after birth
- Remembering to be present and intentional
- The ‘ultimate’ postpartum advice
Thanks again for sharing Nicole.
Everyone go call your mother and tell her you love her.
Kthxbye,
Aaron

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

I chat with Angeline Chia, fellow yoga teacher and a good friend of mine, about her journey to becoming a yoga teacher, soul intelligence and tapping into the universal energies that surrounds all living and possibly even non-living beings.
Sounds a little woo-woo but it really isn't :p
Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it!

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.

Interview with Ryan Spence - Episode 16 of The Yoga Den Podcast
Thursday Jan 28, 2021
Thursday Jan 28, 2021
"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.
