Every spiritual person on the journey of self-discovery must walk the path of meditation and yoga.

In this episode, Ryan Reichert is joined by globally acclaimed Acharya and Vedic educator Ishan Shivanand for an eye-opening conversation about why meditation alone isn’t enough and what a true spiritual awakening looks like.

Ishan talks about his book, which guides people into a deeper understanding of meditation and yoga, the real meaning of spirituality, and he even shares a quick practice you can use to reset your mind and spirit.
