#24: Rajiv ‘RajNATION’ Nathan – Storytelling, Finding Your “Why”, Yoga & #HAMILflow
“Yoga is a journey. Everyone has a starting point, but you keep showing up and you will find your way on that journey. You find a lot of joy in the journey, in the process…To say I can’t do [yoga] because I’m not flexible is to shoot a basketball when you’re 5 years old, and you miss, and you say I can never play basketball again, I can never touch a basketball again because I’m not good at it.”– Rajiv Nathan (RajNATION)
On this episode of the Edge of Comfort Podcast, I talk with Rajiv ‘RajNATION’ Nathan about storytelling in the name of expression, his path to becoming a yoga teacher, incorporating the Hamilton musical into a yoga class called #HAMILflow, and how to find your “Why.”
Rajiv Nathan (LI / IG / TW), or better known as RajNATION, is an entrepreneur, startup advisor, yoga teacher, podcaster, rapper, storyteller, and more.
On the infinite pursuit of expression, RajNATION uses storytelling in its many fashions to make the complex easy-to-understand. RajNATION is founder of Startup Hypeman, RajNATION Yoga, and a hip hop artist by the same name.
Rajiv has been featured in Inc, Forbes, Huffington Post and other media outlets. He has taken the TED stage at Rush University, and his signature #HAMILflow yoga class frequently sells out.
He currently teaches yoga at Bare Feet Power Yoga and Bottom Line Yoga in Chicago, and also leads classes of nearly 300 people in Millennium Park during the summer.
Although Rajiv’s endeavors are diverse, you will learn pretty quickly that storytelling underlies all of these pursuits. While each aspect of RajNATION could be the focus of a single podcast, for this conversation we talk about how storytelling impacts Rajiv along with his yoga practice and classes.
Some of the things we discuss include:
* How Rajiv built a profession around advising startups, teaching yoga, podcasting, and rapping.* The importance of storytelling in Rajiv’s life and his pursuits.* How Rajiv went from being “meh” about yoga to loving it and becoming a teacher* #HAMILflow – Rajiv’s creation and hybrid between the Hamilton musical and a yoga class.* Dealing with the external and internal voices throughout life.
