Hey guys, I'm Krishna. People know me as Chris. I've got about 16 years of experience behind me, focusing passionately on rhythm cycling for the last eight years in five different countries.
Uh, South Africa, where it all started. And Kuwait is where I helped build up a studio from scratch, bring a team together. Shanghai is where I bought a crowd, lost it all, hated the industry, never wanted to teach again. Then Bangkok came. That's when I found my fire, my voice, my purpose, and my why. Then in Germany, I realized what rhythm cycling actually means to me, the connection it was bringing, and then now how I can lead more efficiently and effectively while I'm raising Leah.
So through all of my experiences, I've been through the entire season in this industry, from the very highs to having weightlessness at classes to the very lows, feeling misunderstood. I've also had to reinvent myself multiple times, having to restart and then also to teach classes feeling like I need to fit in and belong. So I've been through all of it. I can relate to people. Reinventing myself wasn't easy. It came with a lot of trial and error and a lot of resilience and a whole lot of heart. But I also know that rhythm cycling is a powerful tool that can create connections, confidence, and resilience.
So basically, why am I applying? To be honest, I'm not the loudest in the room. Neither do I sell myself really, really well. On social media, you guys do see Chris, but I don't believe it displays the true capabilities of me as a coach. So together with you guys, I would like to help create a space where people feel heard and they feel seen, where people feel like they belong; people that are trying to reinvent themselves, people that are local and new in the industry. I want to create, help create a space and shape the future where there's less ego, um, there's more empathy and support, less performance and more presence. And on top of it all, I also want to be um a person that helped make a change in this. And for Leah to have to say, "Hey, I'm proud of your mom."

You guys can sing along. It is so easy to be lost in noise, especially in our industry. Yeah. We try to pretend to be someone we know how to fit in, to fit a brand, to get an extra, extra life on social media, and that's human. I want you guys to take it easy on yourselves. This one it hold me [Music] translation. Watch me two. [Music] Go to a place where you cannot do this alone. [Music] Go to the place where you cannot do this alone.
