Welcome to the Trauma Therapist podcast. My name is Guy McPherson. I interview incredible people who've dedicated their lives to helping those who've been impacted by trauma. A big thank you to our sponsors and our guests who are supporting this show.

So five, four, three, two, and one. Our folks, welcome back to the podcast.

Very excited to have as my guest today.

Dr. Ishan, Shivanon.

Ishan, welcome.

Thank you so much for having me.

You're welcome.

So Dr. Shivanon was born into an ancient lineage of yogis spanning 21 generations

and spent the first 20 years of his life in a Himalayan

monastery. He's a spiritual innovator, coach, and founder of yoga of immortals, a modern

practice grounded in authentic yogic tradition. He combines science, storytelling, and spirituality

to help individuals and organizations manage burnout,

enhance performance, and cultivate inner balance. His work spans wellness, corporate training,

philanthropy, and global community building with a mission to uplift millions through

compassionate, practical spirituality. Ishaun, welcome to the podcast.

Before we get going, share with our listeners where you're from originally and where you are currently.

So presently, I'm in Texas, Austin.

I had to do some work in training and educating people on the benefits of meditation and how we can use technological supports to enhance the quality of meditation. So we were working on some things on

that. And originally I grew up in India in the monastery. It's in Rajasthan.

So it would be the western part of India.

And then I moved to Mauritius, which is Africa.

So I spent about seven years there.
