Podcast
Satyam Stories: How Ayurveda and Yoga Heal Us is a podcast dedicated to sharing real-life journeys of healing through ancient Vedic practices. In each episode, we speak with individuals whose lives have been touched—sometimes radically transformed—by the profound truths of Ayurveda, Yoga, meditation, and other ancestral healing paths.
But this podcast is about more than personal healing. We also explore the ripple effects of these practices: how they can support us in navigating collective trauma, environmental disconnection, and the longing for justice and wholeness in a fragmented world.
Satyam means "truth." These are stories of living into truth—of remembering the body’s wisdom, the soul’s purpose, and the sacredness of life.
Whether you're deep into your healing path or just curious about what’s possible, these stories will meet you where you are—with hope, compassion, and insight.
