    • Parallels on and off the mat
    • Trusting the process, trusting yourself
    • Warmups before class zzz

  • 53. Meiyan Cheong - Searching for connection, reflecting on the past and leaving the Yoga world behind
    Aug 11 2024

    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.]

  • 52. Maisie Cheong - Understanding Enneagrams, mentoring the self and discovering more about who 'You' really are
    Jun 27 2024

    Sorry for being away. I've been busy with life but I'm back now with a special one...

    Today I speak with Maisie, who's insightful approach and deep understanding of the nine personality types from the Enneagram system has definitely shed some light on certain character attribute of mine, so I'm sure she'll be able to shed some light on yours as well.

    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.

    Also, if you think she looks familiar, that's because she's actually the "da jie jie" (big sis) of Meiyan (Episode 29), who might make her second appearance on the poddy real soon. So stay tuned!

    Stuff we talked about:

    • How the enneagram system works and the value it brings
    • Navigating human connection Airing laundry
    • Realising that no one is trying to hurt you
    • Character and context
    • What is love
    • Everyone’s got their own story
    • The practice of sharing vulnerability
    • Connecting through conflict
    • Learning to support yourself
    • Rewriting your narrative

    Until next time,

    Aaron
