What happens when your body forces you to stop?

After suffering a near-fatal health scare, entrepreneur Allaoua Gaham walked away from a multimillion-dirham fashion empire and redefined his life through yoga, breathwork, and self-mastery. In this deeply human conversation, Allaoua reveals the powerful link between burnout, healing, and purpose—and why CEOs, founders, and high-performers need stillness more than they realise.

From training with Russian special forces to teaching chair yoga to Dubai’s busiest executives, Allaoua proves transformation starts where excuses end.
