Josh Geisler is a veteran musician and multi-instrumentalist, who specializes in the bansuri flute. He was the bandleader of Cirque Du Soleil’s “TOTEM”, with whom he toured for 9 years, performing over 2650 shows in 45 cities around the world. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, he continued his studies in India with the legendary flutist Pandit Raghunath Seth and 14th-generation sarod maestro Pandit Vikash Maharaj. Josh is the author of “The Chromatic Bansuri: a cross-cultural guide to the North Indian bamboo flute” and all of the flutes you hear on his recordings were crafted by his own hand.
Since 1997, intrigued by the flute’s intrinsic connection to breathing, Josh has immersed himself in exploring the profound connection between music, breath, and consciousness. This dedication, fueled by years of diligent flute practice, cultivated a robust foundation for his foray into the realm of breathwork. A pivotal week-long retreat with Wim Hof in 2018 marked the beginning of this exploration. Since that transformative experience, Josh has continued his studies, crafting a unique, evidence-based approach. By harmonizing the potent energies of breath and music, he guides individuals and groups towards exploring multifaceted states of consciousness. Learn more at UyangaxBansara.com
