What if rock bottom is actually the beginning?
This conversation rewrites everything about what it means to live, teach, and be the practice. From a collapsed life in Dubai to spiritual alignment in Rishikesh, this story challenges every assumption about the path.

In this episode, we chat about:

🤫 How a YouTube video and breathwork routine started a radical shift.
🌀 The meaning behind his Sanskrit name that foreshadowed a soul’s purpose.
💔 The triple-hit moment—career, relationship, and identity gone in one year.
🕯️  A music festival, a park bench, and an impromptu 3 a.m. monologue.
🌍 The unexpected culture shock of moving from India to France and sharing yoga
🔁 Why he calls himself an “aspiring yogi” and the intentionality behind this title
🔮 How studio vibes, floor texture, and idols on the wall shift everything.
🧨 The silent creep of spiritual ego (and where it hides).
💡 A single question that reveals the true state of any practice.

This isn’t just a conversation about yoga—it’s a call to remember why the path matters in the first place.
