In this episode, yoga teacher and breathwork educator Ben Kalra breaks down how a 2,000-year-old practice still makes perfect sense in the chaos of 2025. With over 4,000 classes taught and 1,500 hours of formal training, Ben blends ancient yoga philosophy with honest, modern insight. From the real meaning of presence and discipline to simple breathwork tools that calm anxiety, this conversation is about using yoga to live better — no robes, no fluff, just what works.
