Welcome to this special edition podcast titled Yoga Yarns ~ Connecting with Krishna. My first introduction to yoga was when I was 18 and I met a Hare Krishna devotee. It was through this introduction that I began to practice yoga. Here I attempt to share a few stories about this time in my life and shed a little light on the culture of Krishna Consciousness. During this yoga yarn I share:how I was first introduced to the yoga of the Bhagavad Gitathe different branches of yoga and how they differ and are similar to each othermy personal journey of seeking solace in yoga and the challenges that arose in contemplating becoming a devoteemy journey of navigating depression and how seeking yoga played into my healingsome of the philosophical underpinnings of the Krishna movementhow mantra can be used to elevate consciousnessand quite a bit more :)Thanks for listening to this episode.
