After 20 years as a corporate law partner, Arjun Lall made a radical leap: he walked away from the law to become a breath coach and yoga teacher. But this wasn't a reckless abandonment—it was a carefully considered journey toward alignment.
Arjun compares the rush of his corporate life to sitting in a smoking room, surrounded by smokers, trying to convince himself he'd quit. Only when he physically left could he see the addiction for what it was. Now at Ujjayi Movement Studio in Bangalore, he teaches that "when you own your breath, no one can steal your peace or your happiness."
His message to corporate professionals feeling the pull toward change? Take the leap—but from a place of alignment. Zoom out and see your life as a hundred-year journey. At 42, he didn't want another 42 years of law. He wanted 50+ years of purpose. The clarity came not from overthinking, but from regulating his nervous system and listening to his soul's calling.
