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

Paglalarawan

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.
