# Dylan Ayaloo — Body-Based Transformation > You understand your patterns but can't change them. Body-based transformation through yoga, breathwork, meditation, and story work closes the gap between knowing and feeling. You can't think your way back to yourself — you have to feel your way back.

This site covers his programmes (Inner Circle, elev8 Premium, INSPIRE yoga teacher training, Evolve), the AWAKEN live-virtual retreat, the AWAKEN podcast, long-form essays, self-paced practice kits, and monthly in-person yoga classes in London.
