She shares stories of both Guruji and Geetaji that reveal not only their brilliance as teachers, but also their humanity, humor, compassion, and unwavering commitment to the subject of yoga.At its heart, this is a conversation about lineage—how it is received, how it transforms us, and the responsibility each of us carries to preserve and pass on the teachings with integrity.If you enjoy On the Light, please consider liking, sharing, or subscribing.
