Three minutes is all you need.

 

Sat Nam.  Thank you for visiting.  My name is Rami and I’ve always dreamed big, strived for greatness and deeply cared about people.  My dream growing up was to be a journalist and then a movie star.  While living in Eastern Europe, Belarus the political situation became dangerous as a journalist. I went to study foreign languages in the best Language University (MSLU!) out there and decided to become a teacher. In my spare time, I helped dozens of students learn English and Swedish by providing them private classes in my free time and I fell in love with that feeling. But then the political situation became worse, I packed my bags and moved to NYC to figure out how I could achieve my next dream.  

Broke, living in a tiny room with my friend... I began my obsession for making my life real and mine from the start.  In spite of countless setbacks and hardships to make it as an immigrant in New York, I was relentless about learning how to connect to the inner wisdom and positive that we all possess but rarely tap the frequency.  At the darkest of times and when I needed it most, depressed and out of luck, as if it were divine, my path lead me to yoga and meditations.  I was invited to a mysterious classes at Golden Bridge Yoga on Center Street in Lower Manhattan where one could see the colors of people’s aura and this is when my interest peaked. Although I didn't see auras on my first time, when I left, I felt like a new person, and I fell in love with Kundalini Yoga.

With the focus on the breath, it boosts my energy level, heightens my awareness and brings me inner peace and wisdom.  Now it’s my mission to share the practices that have impacted me so profoundly and created the community surrounding this movement.

Since then it’s been a powerful journey for me - as a Kundalini yoga and meditations teacher, I help others to find themselves and be happy, healthy and life-driven through my Paradise Practice. I’m a firm believer that life is what you make of it and the way to achieve happiness is by sharing experiences and knowledge with others.  And moving to New York City was a humbling experience and humility is where we start.  Knowing what I know now, I feel it's my duty to share my unique experience so that I can inspire the next person to live a life filled with passion.   

It’s hard to fathom that I’ve grown from struggling with making a living in a different country, thinking to give up and moving to NYC when I experienced a Phoenix rebirth, and now helping others to live the best lives possible. I am grateful for my journey and I understand now that we can change our lives with just a wish, because I came back to my essence - someone who helps to uplift and make others stronger by sharing the great gift of knowledge of KY, and undying Love and Wisdom.

 

It's Where My Music Story Begins

I started playing music professionally back in the 2000's when I moved from Minsk to New York and quickly earned a name for myself in the New York DJ scene. At a young age I was influenced by various genres including house, techno, and hip hop, which trained my ear to be diverse and I developed my unique style - I love experimenting in the acoustic landscape of hooks and innovating cross genre mixing methods.

Speaking of innovating, I see Virtual Reality as one of the next biggest trends.  So I became the resident DJ for Virtual Reality Center "Jump into the Light where I play sets - in a virtual realty burning man-style open-air club in front of hundreds of avatars.  I also collaborate with luxury eyewear brand Rock the Vibe - and are a part of their World Tour.  I usually hang around The Stand Comedy Club but do mix when Fat Baby performs. Thanks for follwing my journey.  Lots more to come.
