Our guest today is Raghunath who has so much wisdom to share.

He is a long-time yogi, spiritual teacher, musician, podcaster,and co-founder of Supersoul School and Farm.

A teen in search of meaning, Ray Cappo fled his suburban Connecticut enclave for New York City — and found community among the misfits of Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

He fell in love with punk rock, so he started a band, Youth of Today,and a record label. Success soon followed.

By the late 1980’s, his bandhad thousands of fans, cementing Ray as a leading voice and trendsetter at the bullseye of hardcore culture.

At the age of 22, he experienced a spiritual awakening and traveled to India to become a monk.

After 6 and a half years, he began another successful band.

20 years ago, Nathalie and Raghunath met while they both worked at YogaWorks in Los Angeles.

He never planned to become a teacher, but was always fascinated by spiritual openness.

After moving to L.A., he realized he didn’t want to be a musician anymore, but yoga was a passion of his.

He was asked to sub as a teacher,and his teaching journey began from there.

After all this time, what does yoga mean for Raghunath?

In the past, he was always interested in alternative lifestyles and clean living, but he never approached yoga as a specific way to “fix” one thing.

It was always a search for spirituality.

Now, yoga isn’t the whole meal, rather it is the condiment for larger feasts of the soul.

We are spiritual beings that have a soul.

The goal of yoga is knowledge of the Self.

Who are you underneath your ego self?

Underneath all the trappings of the false self, who is the true you?

The body is a gift, but it is not all we are.

All aspects of yourself need to be nurtured.
