"Things that cause you to be completely in the moment—that’s the true yoga."

📌 Podcast Summary:

In this unfiltered, unscripted episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, Nicholas Wade Kimps hits record without a plan—and ends up channeling something timeless. What starts as a reflection on burnout, time, and attention quickly expands into a deeply personal reminder of what yoga really is: a moment of total presence. Not just a pose. Not just a breath. But a dissolution of self into the now.

🌀 What if the richest form of yoga isn’t something you do—but something you feel?

🧘🏽‍♂️ Nicholas unpacks the subtle gap between performance and presence, and how even the best asana practice can miss the point if we don’t allow space for mystery, calibration, and true connection.

Whether you’re a long-time yogi or just looking for deeper meaning in your daily life, this episode invites you to trade perfection for participation—and to remember: movement is the way, but alignment is the why.

We’re rethinking what yoga means—and how to meet it in every breath.

“Yoga doesn’t call us to be anything except less attached and more aware.”

👤 Host: Nicholas Wade Kimps | Founder of DIVO Wellness

📜 Summary:
In this thought-provoking episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, Nicholas Wade Kimps explores the word that surfaced during his reflection and meditation: avarice—excessive greed, attachment, and the endless hunger to accumulate more.

Through the lens of yoga philosophy and Ayurveda, Nicholas unpacks how avarice isn’t just about money or material things—it can show up as hoarding power, clinging to identity, or even obsessing over emotional validation. He offers listeners a call to awareness, not judgment, by challenging us to see where our attachments may be causing unnecessary suffering.

You’ll learn:
✅ What avarice really means and how it hides in plain sight
✅ Why attachment is the root of suffering, according to yoga and Ayurveda
✅ How to live with less grasping and more flow, freedom, and awareness
✅ Why letting go isn’t weakness—but a return to wholeness

You’ll learn:
✅ Why your breath is directly linked to your mental, physical, and emotional state

"If all disease begins with thought, how would you choose to live differently?"

👤 Host: Nicholas Wade Kimps | Founder of DIVO Wellness

📜 Summary:
In this episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, Nicholas Wade Kimps explores a profound truth from Ayurveda: "All disease begins with thought." But what does that really mean? Nicholas breaks down this ancient wisdom with a modern twist, using a broken flagpole as a metaphor for how we accumulate damage, stress, and unresolved emotions over time.

He dives deep into the concept of deconstruction for reconstruction—a process of carefully examining what’s broken, understanding why it broke, and finding a way to repair or rebuild. Just like a mechanic diagnosing a car, Nicholas shows how you can become your own “wellness mechanic,” uncovering the thoughts, emotions, and habits that may be wearing you down.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why all disease begins with thought (and how to understand this practically)
✅ How unexpressed emotions can create a backlog of tension in your body
✅ What it means to “deconstruct” your life to rebuild your health and happiness
✅ How to reframe suffering as an opportunity for healing
