Kaya Mindlin - Eligibility and Sacred Guardianship within Yoga


Listen Later

Kaya Mindlin is a trusted teacher guiding many of today’s yoga teachers and longtime practitioners. Mature seekers resonate with her authentic approach that synthesizes the mystical and practical. With over 20 years teaching experience and the blessing of her gurus as a steward of the vedic tradition, Kaya expertly weaves yogic practice, storytelling, sanskrit recitation, vedanta, shaktism, vedic astrology & ayurveda in her rich programs. Her Supreme Release Yoga works gently and deeply with the subtle spine as a sacred pilgrimage site. While many are first drawn to her fierce stewardship and commitment to breaking yogaland myths on social media, they find their yoga home in her inclusive and deep approach that prioritizes a loving teacher-student relationship in which anything can be fodder for spiritual growth. Kaya lives in the US with her husband, a masterful Vedic Astrologer and their two children.
