GodARS is a podcast that explores the combination of personal well-being and the healing of the planet, with the intention of connecting people who share the same mission. In a recent episode, Giulia interviewed Eleonora Biliotti, a yoga teacher from Milan, who shared her journey of inner transformation through yoga and spiritual journeys.
Eleonora tells us about her recent trip to India, a place she has always felt deeply. After three years of absence, she decided to return to rediscover that connection that India has always offered her. The journey, which lasted 25 days, was not a simple vacation, but an “on the road” experience, including trains, buses and hostels, which brought her into contact with the most authentic realities of the country. India, for Eleonora, is a place of great energy, a place where she can rediscover herself, despite the difficulties and challenges she faces during the trip.
His connection with India dates back many years ago, when he decided to quit his stable job in the cosmetics sector and set out in search of something more significant. The passion for yoga, cultivated as a student, pushed her to travel to the land where this practice originated. What was supposed to be a short vacation turned into a three-month stay, during which Eleonora discovered a new world, made of philosophy, practice and a deep spiritual connection. This journey marked the beginning of his journey towards teaching yoga.
Eleonora also shared the details of her experiences at the sacred places of yoga in India. He spoke of Mysore, famous for the teaching of Ashtanga, of Rishikesh, considered the world capital of yoga, and of the cities of Kerala, where Ayurvedic practices can also be explored. For Eleonora, these places have become fundamental points of reference in her path of personal and professional growth.
During her journey, Eleonora also spent time in different ashrams, describing daily life in these places as a combination of meditation, yoga practice, study of philosophy, and moments of silence and reflection. The discipline is strict: wake up at 5 in the morning, meditation, yoga, simple meals and respect for silence during meals. Ashrams provide an ideal environment for those seeking an experience of introspection and spiritual transformation.
In addition to practicing yoga, Eleonora has also experienced extraordinary travel experiences, such as an excursion to the Rajasthan desert and a Himalayan trekking. These moments, lived in total immersion in nature, represented a physical and mental challenge for her, but also an opportunity to rediscover her abilities and inner strength.
Back in Italy, Eleonora transformed her passion into a profession. He mainly teaches Vinyasa and Hatha yoga, adapting lessons to the needs of those who practice, especially in companies, where he also introduces breathing exercises to improve employee well-being. Eleonora stresses the importance of following your passion and believing in your path, even if this requires time and dedication. He advises anyone who wants to pursue a career in yoga to start with humility, doing homework in schools and gyms, and then evolve towards a personal teaching style.
Eleonora Biliotti's experience is an example of how yoga and spiritual journeys can transform a person's life. Through practice, discipline and the exploration of new worlds, Eleonora has found a new sense of self and has built a career based on what she loves most. His journey inspires anyone looking for a more authentic and meaningful life.
