Today’s interview guest has possibly the most colourful story we’ve heard on the podcast so far. 

She’s Annika Saigi, owner of a busy network of yoga studios in Western Sydney called Nin Yoga – and her journey has been a bit like a roller coaster ride in a theme park. It started at a video game arcade, with a detour into the circus arts, adventures in India, and – just as she was launching a yoga studio – there was that painful COVID pandemic. 

Thankfully, Annika has lived to tell the tale and in our interview she shared some of her amazing transformation from a young Video Game arcade manager, into a successful business woman. 

Key Moments

3:22 – It all started with an obsession with Japanese culture and gaming.  

5:18 – When the Gaming Arcade Annika is running is sold, she’s forced to reconsider her career options. 

7:51 – Dance and circus tricks become Annika’s new obsession.   

10:18 – A trip to India, and a Yoga course changes everything. 

11:19 – Covid strikes – and Annika is ready to hit back. 

21:52 – How motherhood impacted Nin Yoga
