Miss Shangai to Yoga Mat Mastery | Susan Hu and Radhika Das

For Soul’s Sake

Embark on a transformative expedition as we sit with Susan Hu, the dazzling former Miss Shanghai who traded her tiara for tranquility as a yoga and meditation teacher. In our latest episode, she opens up about her profound journey into the realm of well-being, sharing how the art of yoga and meditation became her sanctuary through the flows of life. Discover how Susan's passion for donuts has harmoniously blended with her wellness path, proving that self-care can indeed come with sprinkles on top. Her story isn't just about mastering Asanas; it's a deep dive into self-discovery and finding peace within the whirlwind of life.

Cultural roots run deep, and when they intertwine with spiritual evolution, the fusion can be as complex as it is beautiful. Susan walks us through her seamless, yet challenging, transition from the vibrant life in Shanghai to the serene embrace of Vedic traditions. With the subtlety of a lotus blooming in murky waters, she reveals how respect for her heritage and the open-hearted acceptance of new spiritual philosophies have shaped her identity. The warm tales of her family's support illustrate that true transformation is a collaborative journey, encompassing love, tradition, and the courage to embrace the unknown.

In the pulsing heart of New York City, Susan brings a slice of serenity through yoga nidra and bhakti yoga, inviting us to find stillness amidst the chaos. Our conversation takes a humorous turn as she recounts the trials of teaching yoga nidra to her nap-prone parents, and we marvel at how bhakti yoga's message of love knows no religious boundaries, offering a universal sense of connection. As our episode wraps, it becomes clear that Susan's teachings are more than just poses; they're a beacon for anyone looking to anchor their spirit in the fast-paced currents of city life.
