In this episode I sit down with yoga practitioner, author, and self-care coach Deniz Aydoslu. Deniz and I both spent quite some time studying yoga therapy on Koh Phangan, Thailand, and we’ve also both moved through our own journeys of applying yogic tools for well-being to working through depression. In this talk Deniz shares more about her own background and challenges growing up, what pulled her toward yoga and spirituality, and what she’s learned about the intersections of emotional processing, boundaries, and relationships. We also get some of her top tips for self-care and building a life that you love – not just for the sake of your own joy, but for the well-being of others.In this episode we discuss: Deniz's German and Turkish background and upbringing in BelgiumChallenges with depression and mental health during adolescenceComing to yoga through injuryStudying psychology and criminology in the UKDeniz's journey to Asia for yoga studies and living there for 5 yearsThe inner landscape of depression and how yoga helped in the healing processThe role of purpose: recognizing purpose versus searching for it outwardlyThe wisdom of anger and setting boundariesA pivotal realization that led Deniz toward her current partnerThe essence of self-care and what that means for people individuallyLinks + Resources:Deniz's website + free ebook (www.denizaydoslu.com)Deniz's book, Messages from the Deep: Calm Anxiety and Lift Depression with Yoga & the ElementsOn Insgagram: @deniz.aydosluOn Facebook: facebook.com/therapiesforevolution
