    The Heart of Yoga Podcast with Darshini Shah

    Welcome to my The Heart of Yoga Podcast. Darshini Shah is a yoga educator, practitioner, and a student of Yoga for over 25 years, and divides her time between India and America. She began her journey of Yoga in India at age 5, which was passed down generationally, from her paternal grandfather, Dadaji, and her mother. She learned in the same yogic ashrams as them, through paramparas or lineages in India. She holds Gratitude towards the teachers, lineages, and years of study. Her intention is to change the way we view Yoga, and with this Podcast, she wants to start new conversations about Yoga in our contemporary lives, one that connects the timeless teachings to our everyday lives that is authentic. Her hope is that you are living Yoga through Purnatvam, which is our wholeness and fullness. It is the highest and truest expression of your Spirit. You will be inspired, you will be moved, and you will gain insight and knowledge personally and for us to be together as a community. I am grateful for you being here and thank you for your presence.
