He spent 24 years teaching teenagers how to move, but it was learning how to breathe that changed his life.

In this episode, Dirk Hamelijnck shares why he left the familiar structure of the Dutch school system and what brought him to Bali. He talks about the turning point that pushed him onto a new path, the intense practices that first opened the door, and why he now cares more about nuance than hype in breathwork.

You will hear how he approaches breathwork with three clear values, why “safe space” is not just a nice phrase, and what most people misunderstand about breathwork before they ever try it. If you are curious about breath as a tool for grounding, learning, and real change, this conversation will make you want to listen all the way through.

What if the biggest change in your yoga practice is not a new pose, but a new kind of attention?

In this episode, Michael Henri shares how he blends precise body knowledge with something harder to measure: the subtle “energy” of a room. He talks about why awareness and breath can change everything, how a simple favorite pose reveals hidden needs, and what kind of class culture he wants to create in Ubud. Expect practical insights, honest reflections, and a few unexpected rules that might challenge how you usually show up on the mat.

She walked into a yoga class and something unexpected happened, the kind of moment that quietly changes the direction of your life.

In this episode, Kimberley Utama shares the personal journey that led her from feeling pulled between identities to building a life rooted in practice, presence, and purpose. She speaks about what drew her to Bali, what surprised her most once she arrived, and how her relationship with yoga shifted from “something to do” into something she could not ignore. Along the way, she reflects on the inner work that happens behind the scenes of becoming a teacher, the parts of the path that are rarely talked about, and why she is now leaning toward quieter, subtler practices that feel deeper than anything she expected.

If you have ever questioned where you belong, or felt called toward a new chapter but did not know why, this conversation will leave you wanting to hear what happens next.
