Iqbal Ishani has lived several lives already — safari guide, broadcaster, musician, teacher.

Born in Kenya to Indian parents, he spent his early years guiding safaris across the East African wilds, before he was even out of his teens. As a teenager, after his studies at Kenya Utalii College, he won a scholarship to Germany. That was just the beginning.

Diving headfirst into German State TV, Iqbal spent 22 years working with major broadcasters — ARD, ZDF, BR, Pro 7, and Reuters — leaving his mark on productions across the globe. And that wasn’t all: alongside his broadcasting career, he pursued his passions for music, film, and holistic health.

A communicator fluent in six languages, Iqbal is also a certified medical Qi Gong guide. He has spent four decades practicing and teaching Medical Qi Gong, blending ancient breathwork, sacred sound, and original music into a path back to balance. He now lives in Vancouver, BC, and believes the most overlooked patient in any nurturer’s life is the nurturer.

Today, Iqbal is following his heart and soul as the author of Are You Listening? — a micro-journey of wise tales, soul-stirring music, and medical Qi Gong exercises, made for the people who carry everyone else: the ones who hold it all together.

Slow down. Breathe. Listen.

The journey starts here.
