Deb Young is a wife, mother, self-confessed yoga nerd, a trained Doula with a passion for helping women during pregnancy, entrepreneur, global traveler, food-lover and co-founder of the long-established Younga Yoga studio on the South East Coast of Australia. Basically, she is a charismatic leader who inspires those that have the privilege of being in her presence. Deb has a Degree in Physical & Health Education and a background in dance, but it wasn't until she met (her now husband) Russ that she discovered her love for all things Yoga and the amazing way it can help bring balance to life.

Deb has a unique ability to bring Yoga philosophy to life on the yoga mat with dynamic & clear sequencing by drawing metaphors between what we practice ON the Yoga mat as a symbol for what we do in our everyday life OFF the Yoga mat. 

When I first practised with Deb and Russ in their tiny studio (in what seemed like a previously used office space), I immediately sensed the passion and desire for sharing their knowledge, building a community, serving others and effectively creating a collective consciousness of Yogi inspired humans! Since those early days back in 2006, Younga Yoga has since moved to a larger studio, inspired a larger audience and stayed true to their core values, whilst growing a sustainable business. In this week's episode, Deb is with me to share her journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.

You'll find a particular kind of honesty in the conversations on Terrible. Happy, a podcast that sounds like a late-night chat in a backyard after a long day at the skatepark. Host Shan sits down with a rotating cast of characters from the Australian skateboarding scene and beyond, but the talk rarely stays on just tricks and terrain. It naturally veers into the messy, funny, and deeply human stuff that happens off the board: the struggles with fitness, the odd jobs that pay the bills, the mental health ups and downs, and the pure, alternative comedy of everyday life. This isn't a polished production; it's the raw audio of community, capturing the specific voices and stories that make this culture tick. Listeners will hear genuine interviews that feel more like catching up with an old mate, punctuated by the occasional chaos of THT Radio segments. It’s about finding the connection and the laughter in the grind, whether that's on four wheels or just trying to get through the week. The result is a uniquely Australian show that’s less about sports commentary and more about the shared, sometimes terrible, often happy reality of the people within it.
