Yoga Beyond the Mat: Energy, Mantra, and Eternal Soul | Food for Thought #33

In this episode of Food for Thought by Greenfork, host Stephen Zabala interviews Kristen Nelson, owner of Yoga Mandali in Saratoga Springs, about her journey from college yoga classes to owning a heart-centered studio rooted in bhakti yoga—the path of love and devotion. They explore the full spectrum of yoga beyond physical postures, including breathwork, meditation, mantra, restorative practices, kirtan, gong baths, retreats, and teacher trainings that help release stored emotions, regulate the nervous system, and foster community.
