What happens when a personal trainer feels the quiet pull of something deeper?

How does the path of self-discovery unfold through yoga, breath, and stillness?

Can a journey that begins with the physical lead to profound inner transformation?

In this episode, Burkhard speaks with Lynn—a dedicated practitioner and graduate of multiple Akasha Yoga programs. Lynn’s story is one of honest exploration and full-hearted commitment. After beginning her career in fitness, she gradually transitioned toward a more holistic way of supporting others—through yoga, meditation, pranayama, and compassionate presence.

Together, they reflect on the pivotal moments of her path: the leap into Yoga Teacher Training at 54, her evolution as a guide for women’s wellbeing, the power of silent retreats, and her three-day darkroom experience. What emerges is not a dramatic breakthrough, but a steady unfolding of clarity, purpose, and inner peace.

This conversation is an intimate window into a truly transformational journey—one rooted in practice, humility, and the courage to keep saying yes.
