Ep. 5 Roots and Reverence: Tina Pashumati-James on Yoga, Self-Discovery, and Sacred Lineage

In Part 1 of this enriching Voices of Nectar conversation, Andrea Clark sits down with Tina Pashumati-James, a senior Ashtanga and Jivamukti yoga teacher, to explore her lifelong relationship with yoga, mindfulness, personal growth, and the spiritual teachings that have shaped her journey.

Through stories of her upbringing, her practice in Mysore, India, and the influence of teachers like Patabi Joyce and Iyengar, Tina reflects on what it means to walk a path of spiritual growth while honouring both tradition and personal evolution.

This episode touches on mantra, Bhakti, Indigenous wisdom, and the ways in which community, nature, and self-discovery are woven into her life and offerings.

Part 1 is a deep dive into the roots of practice, the beauty of lineage, and the power of reverence.
