What calls someone to the path of yoga before they even know what they’re looking for?

Can a simple practice like gazing at a flower begin a lifelong journey of transformation?

In this episode of The Spirit of Yoga, Burkhard sits down with Radasi to explore her personal journey into yoga, beginning at age 19 with an intuitive pull toward steadiness and calm. What began as a physical Hatha yoga practice quietly unfolded into a deep process of yoga transformation and spiritual awakening.

Through moments of contrast and clarity, from dancing through life’s intensity to the gentle unfolding of inner stability, Radasi shares how yoga became her path of healing and self-discovery. She reflects on the purification that came with becoming vegetarian, the importance of one-to-one mentorship, and the pivotal role of community—Sanga—as a space for guidance and support.

This conversation is a grounded and honest look into how yoga changed her life, not through dramatic turning points, but through a steady, soulful unfolding. It’s an invitation to remember that transformation often begins with something small—and that we are never alone in the process of becoming who we truly are.

How can yoga support us through life's most profound challenges?

What happens when spiritual practice meets the edge of mortality?

Can healing come not only from medicine, but from movement, breath, and inner stillness?

In this episode of The Spirit of Yoga, Burkhard shares the moving story of Catherine—a yoga practitioner who turned to the path of yoga after being diagnosed with blood cancer. When her plans to join an in-person teacher training were disrupted by the need to stay near the hospital, she chose instead to immerse herself in an online yogic journey.

Through consistent practice, community support, and inner strength, she not only navigated the trials of illness, but also experienced a profound deepening of her spiritual journey. Her story is not an isolated one. It echoes the lived experience of many who have turned to yoga for cancer recovery, discovering in the ancient teachings a path to resilience and inner healing.

This conversation weaves together the personal and the universal. It honors both traditional lineages and modern-day yoginis walking the path with courage and sincerity. Through stories of transformation, it offers a quiet yet powerful reminder of what is possible when we step onto the mat—not just to stretch the body, but to awaken the heart.

Join us as we explore the intersection of yoga therapy, spiritual resilience, and the healing power of practice.

A story of healing through yoga, grounded in truth and lived experience.
