What does it take to truly live your work as a facilitator, teacher, or leader?

In this episode, Mentor Dida sits down with Dylan Ayaloo - also known as the Inner Work Guy. Dylan is a facilitator of transformation, a yoga teacher of teachers, and a healer who has helped thousands of high-achievers release burnout, heal emotional patterns, and reconnect with their purpose.

Dylan shares his journey from full-contact martial arts training for the Olympics into yoga, meditation, and deep inner work. Together they explore what “inner work” actually means, why awakening is simply waking up from the hypnosis of the mind, and how loosening our grip on fixed identities can change the way we teach, lead, and learn.

This conversation dives into how to design spaces - in education, work, and group settings - where people feel safe enough to be real, ask “Who am I?”, and step into the unknown together.
