Today, we embark on a profound exploration into the essence of yoga. But before we delve in, allow me to share a story. In a serene village in India, an elderly sage was known for his serene demeanor and robust vitality. Each morning, before the sun graced the horizon, he would be found by the river, gracefully moving through yoga poses and breathwork. Intrigued, villagers asked him about his secret, to which he simply replied: "This is yoga. It's not merely exercise; it's a way of life."

Our honored guest today, Basanti Pathak, epitomizes this philosophy. Since the age of four, guided by her father, Basanti has immersed herself in yoga. She is the founder of Pathak Yoga, renowned for offering yoga and mindfulness services tailored for corporate environments. With a diploma in yoga and naturopathy, a master’s from Bourne University, and further studies at Harvard and Clark University, Basanti brings a wealth of wisdom.

Join us as Basanti shares her journey, from early exposure to yoga's profound teachings to her discoveries in meditation later in life. We explore the comprehensive nature of yoga, beyond popular practices like Pranayama and Asanas, to its deeper purpose of achieving Moksha—liberation from attachments and the ego. Basanti demystifies various yoga paths, including Hatha, Bhakti, Kriya, and Kundalini, revealing how each offers a unique route to holistic well-being and spiritual growth.

In a world where yoga's essence can be obscured by trends and misconceptions, Basanti sheds light on its authentic roots and evolution. She underscores the importance of self-study and understanding yoga's rich heritage amidst today’s fast-paced, consumer-driven culture. Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this episode promises profound insights into how yoga can serve as a transformative tool in navigating life’s challenges.
