Do not admire and not be inspired by your own accomplishments, looking at the metamorphosis of Merkulov in yoga , it is simply impossible. Passing treatment from drug addiction (once again), he met the founder of the French federation of kundalini yoga and received the blessing of the master with one glance only.
Since then, some 15 years have passed, and now kundalini yoga is automatically associated with Alexei Merkulov. Now he is a kundalini yoga instructor at the Zhivi club and an adviser to the Federation of Kundalini Yoga Teachers of Russia.
In addition, Alexei Merkulov is an example of the fact that neither kundalini yoga nor any other eastern technique will make a skinny bearded sage from a normal Western man a whole day sitting on nails. Merkulov admits that he never parted with a laptop and leads a completely modern, active lifestyle outside of training.
If you are a zealous fan of yoga and you want to introduce your man to this oriental practice, then by the example of Alexei Merkulov you can convince him of the benefits of yoga and finally start practicing together.
