Stop Looking, Start Living with David Fardi

What if the life you’re seeking is already unfolding beneath your feet? David Fardi's path from spiritual confusion to grounded clarity is a powerful reminder that real Yoga begins when we stop chasing and start participating in what is.

A Yoga teacher and founder of the men’s fashion brand Le Nirvana, David shares how he moved through disillusionment in Europe and neo-tantric circles to find a deeply embodied practice in Bali. His story touches on healing generational wounds, living in rhythm with nature, and discovering how simple breath and movement can reshape a life. David now teaches private sessions at Samyama Yoga and lives what he practices with devotion, artistry, and love.

Key Takeaways

The Power of Presence – Gathering in person allows for a deeper transmission of Yoga that even the best Zoom call can’t replicate.

Bali’s Blessing Culture – The spiritual fabric of Balinese daily life creates an environment of tolerance, beauty, and ease that supports deep practice.

Yoga Is Participation, Not Performance – Real Yoga is not information gathering; it’s direct participation in the reality of breath, body, and being.

Spiritual Friendship Matters – One-on-one connections made in gatherings often become lifelong support systems for practice and healing.

The End of the Separate Self – Gathering invites us into a recognition: there’s no fixed “me” to fix. There’s only reality unfolding through us.

We Are the Forest Dwellers – These gatherings are part of an eternal cultural process of Yoga; friends meeting in sacred spaces for wisdom to be lived and shared.
