Welcome to episode 3 of the ‘Weekly Dose of You4ia’ Podcast. I sat down with one of my mentors and great mates Tyson Venables. Tyson is a personal trainer, crossfit coach, yoga instructor and all round awesome dude with a great story to tell. He is the owner of ‘bear strength fitness’ and is up to amazing things, listen in to find out more.

In this episode:
- We cover Tyson’s background, growing up and his transition from Sydney to Melbourne. He answered the historic question Melbourne or Sydney, and chose Melbourne based on the coffee.
- Tyson explains in depth the benefits of yoga, meditation and how it transformed his life.
- He gives us hot tips on how to take yoga off the mat incorporate yoga into our everyday lives.
- He shares with us an awesome breathing technique that is pure gold.
- Tys takes us through his background as an aspiring professional cross-fitter and his experience as a cross-fit coach.
- He shares with us in depth, his history battling adrenal fatigue and the warning signs we should look out for. Us humans often think were invincible but we aren’t.
- He shares with us some of his upcoming projects, in particular his ‘Bear strength man camps’. Which are weekend camps for men including HIIT training, yoga, meditation, surfing, mountain biking and hiking. Tyson is also trying to break the stigma against men’s mental health and their unwillingness to talk about their emotions. He is teaching men that alcohol and drugs aren’t the way to deal with their mental problems.
