I'm a man of action and when I see a need for change I'm compelled to move in this direction.
I believe many children are misunderstood by grownups because grownups have forgotten how it was to be a child. And often grownups are misunderstood by their own kind because they fail to remember that they are just big kids and they need to play too. When I was a teenager and felt misunderstood by grownups I vowed to remember how it was to be a child, and since then I'm fascinated by the way children see the world and interact with it.
I started practicing yoga and meditation when I was 14 and ran away from home to India when I was 16. Then the adventure began and I ended up being a Hindu monk for 10 years at the Sivananda Ashrams around the world.
I have been teaching yoga since 1995 and have dedicated a big part of this journey to yoga for children and families. But at a certain point I noticed that grownups are missing on all the fun and need some help in reconnecting to each other and to the lighter side of our busy reality… so I started a yoga revolution making the practice social and interactive.
I had a few yoga studios along the way, trained thousands of yoga teachers and now my beautiful wife Angel and I are spreading concepts that are bigger than yoga, such as love and community, through our international organization – Rainbow Yoga. We have a beautiful family of 4 amazing children, Emily, Oli, Delphin and Indigo, and are inspired to continue travelling the world to share our passion for life.
