From heavy metal to yoga – the many lives of Ben Rakidzija

Ben Rakidzija is many things: a yoga teacher, philosopher, Zen practitioner and writer. In this episode, he talks to Karin Leeb about his journey to Hotel Hochschober, life as an author, the power of a midday nap and his very personal approach to teaching yoga: quiet, clear and profound.

A conversation about modern mindfulness, consciously living without a smartphone, tea, books and clouds of thought. What happens when you deliberately choose to stay away from social media? Why can 20 minutes of sleep sometimes be more beneficial than two hours of work? And what do the sea, silence and a cup of tea have in common? A thoughtful, unhurried and wonderfully calm episode.
