EPISODE 16: The Yoga of Devotion - with Bhakti Yogi, Lydia Richards - a podcast by Arianna Pienaar

In this episode, we talk about the yoga of devotion, and what it means to be a Bhakti Yogi, taking yoga off the mat in a way that's of service.  It includes a short mantra practice so that you can experience the very thing that we’re riffing about in this episode. To chant along, here are the words to The Gayatri Mantra ☞ Om bhūr bhuvaḥ suvaḥ tatsaviturvareṇyaṃ bhargo devasyadhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ prachodayāt
Gayatri Mantra English Translation:
We meditate on the glory of the Creator;
Who has created the Universe;
Who is worthy of Worship;
Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light;
Who is the remover of all Sin and Ignorance;
Lydia Richards is a transmitter of yogic practices, Bhakti Yogi and animal lover based in Melbourne, Australia.
Sharing devotional mantra, sound healings and Yoga at Yoga Corner (CBD) and Radiant Sol (Port Melbourne), Lydia’s intention is to bring her students back to the bounty of their loving heart. She believes anything and everything is possible when we live more fully from this space.
Lydia considers herself a yogi on the Bhakti (devotional) path, immersing herself in trying to understand the lessons of the ancient yogic scriptures and regularly attending Melbourne’s Hare Krishna temple with devotees of Lord Krishna.
Embodiment, Love and Honour are the key pillars of her personal practice and offerings as a teacher of this branch of yoga, considered by the Bhagavad Gita to be the “highest yoga”.
