“Sometimes when people ask me what I do in life, I like to answer “researcher”. “Ah that’s good!” they say. Then follows invariably: “In what?” “in Yoga.” Some look disappointed, others laugh out loud …
Yet this is a noble path and a fairly accurate definition of what a yogi is, who, driven by an invisible force, searches relentlessly (or almost!) through their practices, to capture the essence of life in its purest form.
For me, this path began early, as a child, in the form of questions, and at the age of 20 I went out to travel the world. For nearly 5 years, I met its warm people and breath-taking landscapes in search of authenticity and answers about life. But when I returned, I had to face the facts. I had not found what I had been looking for.
