who am I ?

In everyday life, I’m Vishal, born in the Atacama desert with Peruvian and Indian roots. Growing up, my family moved around a lot until we settled in the Ecuadorian Andes. Coming from different backgrounds, born in one place, and raised in another, I searched for belonging early on. Little did I know, feeling different from others would lead me to explore the path of non-duality.

As I entered adulthood, I pursued academia, believing it would give me purpose and a sense of belonging. Despite appearing noble on paper, I still felt incomplete. I tried many things to fill this emptiness leading me only to unsustainable living habits and the darkest point of my life.

The whole world is one family

In today's fast-paced world, fear and anxiety cloud our innate tranquility. Having experienced it firsthand and observed it in others, I firmly believe we all have the capacity to return to our natural serene state. Guiding others towards peaceful and relaxed living is now my greatest passion, so that we all can live in peace in harmony.

It was during this time that Yoga entered my life, revealing a natural sense of peace and relaxation without the need for stimulants. This peaked my curiosity on life's inner dimensions and started my journey learning different Yoga and meditation techniques under different teachers. With their grace, I’ve cultivated a practice that bring balance and harmony to my life, nurturing both body and mind. While I don't claim enlightenment, this journey has brought me profound peace and contentment with life as it is.
