When Dylan Smith first learned to meditate at age six, it wasn’t a spiritual awakening — it was just part of life. Growing up in a meditating family in Sydney, he absorbed the importance almost by osmosis. But it wasn’t until a chance visit to an Ayurvedic clinic in India, years later, that everything changed. In this episode, Dylan shares how a Deepak Chopra book sparked a complete shift in direction, what drew him to study with the legendary Raju family, and why Ayurveda isn’t just about treating illness, it’s about enlivening health. He and Michael talk about the synergy between meditation and daily routine, the power of rhythm, and what it really means to live in tune with nature. Grounded and refreshingly practical, Dylan brings Ayurveda to life in a way that’s both timeless and totally doable.
