About The Yoga Heart Mind Podcast

The Yoga Heart Mind Podcast is a contemplative yoga show built around practice as a lived path. It is not hurried. Episodes often begin in ordinary circumstances, with school holidays, a car recording, a rooftop in Rishikesh, or a quiet gap in a full day becoming the doorway into deeper inquiry. The show’s center is yoga philosophy, but its range is broad and intimate. Nepal, India, Ayurveda, teacher training, marriage, mantra, illness, family life, supplements, and digital distraction all become part of the same field of attention. Conversations with Amy Landry linger on lineage, reverence, teacher formation, and the difference between collecting knowledge and integrating it through practice. Dr. Harsh brings Ayurveda into the foreground through doshas, gunas, imbalance, and healing that looks beneath surface symptoms. The solo episodes are more exposed. They move through relationship, eye illness, vitality, technology, Substack offerings, and the desire to keep spiritual work connected to daily reality. A marriage episode frames commitment as both mystical and ordinary. School pickups, sleepless nights, inner work, and projection sit beside tantra, therapy, and yoga without being separated into neat categories. The show makes room for contradiction. It can be devotional, blunt, practical, promotional, tender, and philosophical in the same stretch of audio. Its rhythm rewards patience. Long answers are allowed to breathe, and repeated phrases often function less as polish than as part of a thinking process. The recurring concern is maturity. What does it mean to study without performing wisdom. What does it mean to teach after years of actual practice. What does it mean to heal without ignoring the body, the nervous system, or the emotional roots of imbalance. The result is a warm, searching companion for listeners who want yoga joined to relationship, embodiment, and spiritual responsibility.

Made for: For yoga practitioners, teachers, and spiritually curious listeners who prefer spacious reflection to compressed advice. It especially suits people interested in Ayurveda, lineage, relationship work, mantra, and lived practice.

What sets it apart: The show’s strength is its willingness to let ordinary life carry the teaching. Instead of separating yoga philosophy from family life, illness, marriage, travel, and health habits, it keeps returning to integration as the real test.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

#170 Amy Landry - Ocean of Yoga — Returning to the SourceApr 8, 2026

A patient case for yoga as practice, lineage, and long-term responsibility.

Amy's conversation starts with Nepal travel but keeps circling back to a sharper question: what does it actually take to grow into a yoga teacher?

#169 Dr Harsh Agrawal - Ayurveda 101: Doshas, Gunas & the Intelligence of HealingMar 1, 2026

A grounded primer on Ayurveda, centered on imbalance, root cause, and the body-mind link.

Dr. Harsh frames Ayurveda as something lived before it is studied. The talk links doshas and gunas to vikriti and the healthier pattern underneath it, then keeps returning to effects people actually notice: skin trouble, allergies, inflammation, sensitivity, anger, irritability,…

#167 Why I Became a Marriage Celebrant — The Yoga of RelationshipNov 14, 2025

Marriage as a practice of inner work, not a polished success story.

The episode treats marriage as a practice, not a polished ideal. The host ties that view to her own life, including a nearly 10-year wedding anniversary and her choice to become a marriage celebrant.

#134 Leah Song - Resilience, Devotion and Sacred ActivismJul 18, 2021

A patient, root-level talk about art, place, and the trance under the music.

The episode moves from a return after a break into app work, family routine shifts, and a reflective look at growing up between city life and Appalachian weekends.
