In this episode, we welcome Bruce Barnes, a world traveler and former DJ whose life took a profound turn when he discovered yoga and energy work. From a fast-paced, party-fueled lifestyle to deep self-exploration through chakra yoga and consciousness practices, Bruce shares his transformational journey and how ancient wisdom continues to guide him.
We dive into the real meaning of yoga, how the chakra system can be used as a blueprint for life, and the importance of balancing structured discipline with playful exploration. We also explore the connection between energy, movement, and awareness—and how we can bring these principles into our everyday lives.
If you’re curious about the deeper dimensions of yoga, energy healing, and how to balance structure with flow, this episode is for you!
