    Born in France, Reborn in India: Spirituality, Yoga & Authentic Travel | Rocklaz #119

    What does it take to leave everything behind at 25 and buy a one-way ticket to India — and never look back? Celine did exactly that. Born in France and, as she puts it, reborn in India, she traded a law degree for a spiritual quest and has spent 15 years diving deep into yoga, meditation, Vedic wisdom, and the Art of Living tradition. In this episode, she shares why the West's approach to spirituality often misses the mark, how she built a travel company that takes French people on authentic journeys through India's temples, ashrams, and hidden tribal villages — and what happens when intellectuals are forced to get out of their heads. Celine's company: Namaste Voyages en Inde. We also get into the difference between a tourist and a traveler, why belonging and connection are quietly disappearing in Europe, and how nature might be humanity's greatest teacher. Whether you're curious about India, yoga philosophy, or simply living a life that feels true — this conversation is for you.

    Dr. Julia Stenzel — German Cancer Doctor, Art of Living Teacher, and Bhajan Singer | Rocklaz #118

    What does an oncologist think when she watches someone take their last breath? Julia is a German medical doctor, Art of Living teacher, and devotional singer who has spent years living inside the Black Forest Ashram in Germany — one of the most unique spiritual communities in Europe. In this conversation, she takes us on a tour of the ashram, shares what dying patients say in their final moments, and opens up about how Sudarshan Kriya helped her release emotions she didn't even know were stuck in her body. Her music journey is equally unexpected — she never trained as a singer, yet somehow ended up leading satsangs with a guitar she'd barely touched. From cancer wards to silent retreats, from German lullabies to Sanskrit bhajans, this is a conversation about healing, death, and what it means to truly live. Don't skip the part where she describes her very first Kriya experience — it'll stay with you.

    Stop Trying to Be Perfect: Sanna on Miracles, Self-Acceptance, and Finding the Divine | Rocklaz #117

    Have you ever felt like you’re constantly "beating yourself up" to become a better version of yourself? In this soul-stirring conversation, Sanna, a veteran Art of Living teacher from Bulgaria, flips the script on modern spirituality. She dives deep into a hilarious yet liberating lesson from her guru about "accepting your inner donkey," explaining why the pursuit of perfection often blocks our connection to the Divine. Sanna shares raw, unfiltered stories—from her childhood search for the purpose of life to witnessing "baby miracles" in the presence of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. She discusses the intense emotional cleansing of the path, her experiences teaching across Europe, and a harrowing first-aid rescue that taught her what it truly means to be a "divine instrument." Whether you are struggling with "stuckness" or seeking a deeper sense of service, Sanna’s bubbly energy and candid wisdom offer a refreshing roadmap to living with a high prana and an open heart.

We also take a deep dive into the fascinating culture of Denmark, uncovering the secret behind “Hygge” and why it consistently ranks as one of the happiest nations on Earth.
