Welcome to Episode #3 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Ayn Latonio onto the show. I first met Ayn in Rishikesh, India back in 2018. We were staying in the same hostel and we decided to attend a Hatha Yoga class with the renowned teacher Sri Surinder Singh at Swasti Yoga Shala.

Ayn and I were fast friends, and have stayed in touch as fellow yoga practitioners on the path. Ayn is a yoga teacher in Cebu City, in the Philippines. I actually spent a month teaching yoga in Cebu myself, at Wellnessland, however Ayn was traveling outside of the Philippines and we weren’t able to reconnect in his home city.

In this episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe podcast, we will dive into yoga in the Philippines and learn more about Ayn’s affinity for pranayama and bandhas. For a quick explanation, pranayama is the movement of energy, or our life-force, through the breath. Bandhas are energy locks, using internal muscles (either tensing or relaxing them) to control the flow of energy.

As Ayn says in this podcast episode, “I started off like everyone, it was all about the asanas and strengthening and flexibility. It was all about the physical practice. So when I got introduced to bandhas, it changed my physical practice so much. It made so many postures more accessible that just going into these poses without using the bandhas and brute force— mindless efforts so to say.”

What to expect in Episode #3 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast:

Asana as the gateway
The relationship between asanas and bandhas
Exploring different practices and methods until you find the one you resonate with
The first step in finding the right teacher
When the student is ready the teacher appears, when the student is truly ready the teacher disappears
Yoga in the Philippines is “young,” but is growing fast and found by word of mouth
Pranayama as the path to emotional control, and more control over thought and actions
The power of a deep breath when it is truly deep
How to radiate peace
How to to breathe through stress
