Join Jeffrey Gladden and Mukti Devi in this episode of Gladden Longevity. Mukti Devi's journey began in 2016 after a painful divorce. Mukti Devi is a long time Sivananda Yoga practitioner, student, and teacher. She completed the Sivananda TTC and ATTC at the Sivananda Yoga Farm and has served in many Sivananda ashrams and centers over the years. She also teaches private yoga and meditation classes and offers workshops and courses for businesses and corporations. Faced with deceit, she left the relationship and embarked on a healing and self discovery journey in India. Initially expecting a 6 month trip, it ended up lasting five years. Mukti had also been a yoga teacher along the way. In this episode, they chat about the importance of healthy relationships, creating great relationships, embracing inner wholeness, self love, and lasting relationships.
