In this episode we interview one of our graduates, Trina Sotto! She has been practicing since 2003 and we talk about her journey towards going for her dreams of teaching yoga from her corporate job. We focus a lot in this interview on her as a prenatal and post partum yoga teacher so you'll hear a lot of questions from us about it. This interview was also really helpful for us to clarify misconceptions about how to deal with pregnant ladies in our classes. If you're a teacher, listen! We hope you enjoy this light-hearted and informative conversation as much as we did.  To our dearest Trina, we are so proud and happy for you!

For Dona, yoga has been present in her life in so many ways -- from games that sharpened her intuition as a child, to her love for music and movement, to her connection with her feminine energy, as well as the people she has learned from. This episode shows how maturity in the practice is setting aside labels and being too stern about what Yoga is and is not. Listen to this inspiring conversation that makes us confident in being unapologetically ourselves.

Fresh from the critical and commercial success of her one-woman play, Every Brilliant Thing, and a few weeks before she is due to give birth to her third baby, we sat down with Teresa Herrera at her home to talk about yoga, the Global Mala Project Manila, motherhood, theater and everything that this multi-talented individual has dabbled in. With her lifelong experience as a model, yoga teacher, actor, mother, and global citizen, we all can learn a thing or two from Teresa. There's no better way to get that perspective than from listening in to this conversation. Whether you practice yoga or not, you will surely appreciate Teresa's insights on life, doing what you love, and just going with the flow.

This episode is special because we get to sit down and chat with our yoga loves, Bry Reyes and Shiela Matias. Although we are in touch all time, we still learned a few new things about Bry and Shiela's yoga journey, from when they were just starting out as first-timer yoga practitioners to the present as full-time yoga teachers. We learn more about the Rocket Yoga practice, its history and methodology, and its prospects for the future here in the Philippines! Listen in and get an insight on their philosophy as teachers and practitioners. Note: There are many times when we get too excited in this episode. Sorry for the noisy laughter! Get ready with your volume buttons!
