17. How Yoga (Literally) Saved My Life With Bhava Ram

What would you do if you met someone who had been through huge adversity; from a broken back, to terminal cancer, through to addiction, traumatic stress and depression... but managed to come out the other side with a tonne of grace and wisdom? I can tell you what I’d do: ask as many questions (and soak up as many lessons) as possible.

Bhava’s story is incredible. He went from being a front-line journalist and war correspondent for NBC (winning the Alfred I. duPont award for his work, which is like winning the Pulitzer Prize)… to hitting rock bottom, with overwhelming health issues… through to becoming a head-standing yogi with a brand new outlook on life. This is a man who has truly been through it all and come out the other end to serve.

I was introduced to Bhava by my husband and have been forever changed! He has impacted both our lives in a profound way (and in fact, the work that he did with Nick before we got together really cracked Nick’s heart open nice and wide, ready for me.

Get ready for some serious inspiration and wisdom, because it comes hard and fast.

In this episode we chat about:

How he went from being a Type A over-achiever to a yogi (and what it’s like to completely step into a new identity) (05:53)
The dark demons that visited him in the rehabilitation center (14:17)
How he healed from cancer, a broken back, depression, addiction and traumatic stress (21:21)
How waking up early helped Bhava heal his body (this story is insane!) (23:58)
How Bhava’s doctor reacted to his healing (26:56)
Essential daily habits for anyone craving healing and transformation (28:11)
Who the best guru on the planet is and why you need to listen to them (29:41)
The power of mantra to manifest an abundance of health, wealth and love in your life (37:05)
How Bhava deals with fear when it comes up today (I love these tips!) (39:51)
The biggest contributing factor to your growth and evolution (and it’s not what you think) (51:40)
Plus so much more!
