Kundalini is an ancient mystical practice from India. It refers to "a spiritual energy or life force located at the base of the spine". It is associated with Yoga & Tantra. It can also be compared to Reiki (Japan). A Kundalini facilitator is trained to guide you (via meditation) to awaken that inner force. In the process, energy is channeled through the 7 Chakras. A Kundalini session is cathartic and the ultimate goal is to achieve relief, peace & happiness. 

Apparently so, yes! According to definitions of "Polymath", José could be described as a modern day "Renaissance man". Although the archetypal polymaths are geniuses like Leonardo Davinci & Isaac Newton, the philosophical and modern definitions are more inclusive... 

According to humanist philosophy, "(we are) the center of the universe and should try to embrace all knowledge and develop our own abilities as fully as possible". José has that positive mindset which makes him believe that there is no limit to learning & creativity. No boundaries between career paths. Hence he is a photographer, filmmaker ... as well as fitness instructor, sports nutritionist & Kundalini facilitator. He wants to add "music producer" to that list. Stay tuned!

At the age of 20, José joined the police force in Isla de Margarita, Venezuela.  At 21, a serious motorcycle accident abruptly left him out of a job & unable to walk for nearly a year. Through physiotherapy & rehabilitation at the hands of Cuban doctors, he was able to walk again. After his miracle recovery, he started working as an armed security guard and a fashion model. This was at the brink of the Venezuelan economic crisis, a time when there still was a vibrant fashion scene in that country.

Although this stint was brief, it is an interesting part of José's biography and a pivotal point in his life.
