Alon began his yoga practice in 2012 soon after moving to Los Angeles. Having long believed that yoga was a practice specifically for meditation and perhaps had some physical fringe benefits, he was given a proper introduction to the strength-building and balance-enhancing aspects of it as part of a larger, more encompassing fitness program. It wasn’t long before he had abandoned lifting entirely and focused on a solely calisthenic, yoga-based workout. Through yoga, he has come to appreciate the strength and control that comes with regular practice. And more than that, the forced attention to the breath and the body brings a mindfulness and intention that can be applied to many areas of every day life beyond the yoga mat. It is this focus and intention that gave birth to his concept of “Mindful Metal,” that he practices in the creation and execution of his musical projects.
