Book 13 // Yaron Engler and “Beautiful Inclined”

Chapters Of My Life Podcast

"Living life without regrets is what we should aim for" - that his words. This time I had Yaron Engler - a musician, mentor and speaker on my Podcast. He lives what he says. Whenever you meet Yaron, you feel this excitement, energy and never-ending eagerness to find the adventure of your life. He has been touring for many years all over the world with world-renowned choreographers Hofesh Shechter and Akram Khan. For him a deeper connection with someone was key, and he soon realised through his performances he created moments with the audience or students that discovered something deep and meaningful about themselves. Yaron chooses 9 Chapters in his Chapters Of My Life Podcast. Starting with Chapter 1 called „Simple“ where he tells us his childhood till age 10 and where he in early age find interest in using music to express himself. „Dark“ called the next Chapters 2, and yes you guessed it, it's his teenage years. Why dark? Well like with many artists in their young age, school just wasn't a place to grow their passion. Fighting through the teenage years, Yaron kept playing the drums during these times and turned at age 18 his passion into becoming a professional drummer which is all about Chapter 3. Chapter 4 called „Transition“ and it’s a more difficult part for him where he had to do mandatory military service which prevented him in the first place to regularly play the drums and follow his passion. Over time, he was able to find balance, playing music, serving military service and be closer with friends and family. After 3 years service, he played professionally in a band and won auditions. Finally a time he was able to entirely focus on his passion which he called „Doing What I Love“ in his Chapter 5. In his early 20s, he won a scholarship which brought him for the first time to U.S. Berkley where he was able to take the music study to a new level. Surrounded with well-known musicians he was finally able to do what he loves. It expanded his horizon but at the same time enabled him to discover the world. This life part is chapter 6 and it’s about “Expansion" as he names it as well. Chapter 7 „Learning“ is about moving to Spain, learning a new language and starting from scratch in a new country while keeping the one constant element in his musical career playing the drums. Travelling around the world enabled him to express himself through music in a very rare and unique way. „Exploration“ is Chapter 8 where he moved to the UK with his wife, started a family and started to make a shift in his career. He had this inner feeling to better reconnect to his heart, his passion was essential not just for himself, but also to mentor and coach others - all with the elements of music and drums. This is why he decided to focus his work on helping people reconnect to their hearts. His next Chapter in his life 9 called „Balance“ where he aims to find a way to combine family with his two kids and his career, where music and drums never will be replaced. His motto till today" LEAD WITH YOUR HEART AND LET YOUR HEAD FOLLOW, INSTEAD OF LEADING WITH THE HEAD LIVING A LIFE OF REGRET IN YOUR HEART. A truly inspiring and yes crazy but in a good sense musician and performer.
