Vegan Vitality with Kathleen Kastner
It is with great pleasure that we introduce you to our guest today, Kathleen Kastner. A devotee of Paramahansa Yogananda’s Self-Realization Fellowship, an adopted child of Kansas, Deepak Chopra’s personal trainer, a philanthropist, and a published author many times over. Her passion was fuelled by working with clients who were struggling with obesity and helping them lose weight. Through these experiences, she realized they needed more emotional and therapeutic tools and support them, beyond diet and exercise. She is certified in plant-based nutrition with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and has her own Vegan cooking YouTube channel.
Her book, Yoga’s Path to Weight Loss: A Mind Body Spirit Guide to Loving Yourself Lean, includes recommendations for asana, meditation, walking in nature, praying, and affirmations as some suggested emotional and spiritual tools to help readers tap into connecting with radical self-love to enhance the results of adopting a plant-based diet along with regular exercise.
She shares some sage advice for all of our listeners:
“You have to trust that it’s all divinely perfect, even if you don’t understand it, and keep moving forward.”
Our podcast has a predictable structure. We ask where our guest is from and how bad it got before yoga, atha yoga nusashasam, “Now, Yoga is Revealed,” and we discover how it was revealed withing their unique life circumstance. Each time we discover how beautifully original each human being is and how wonderfully exotic their decisions have been in the face of it all. How do we cope? How do we manufacture a life? How do we make an authentic living?
We believe Kathleen will inspire you. She inspired us with her willingness to share and her enthusiasm for all things life-giving. She's a woman who's been courageous in her attempt to make sense of it all and paints a beautiful, compassionate, picture through all of her life experiences. Her love for other beings is absolutely infectious!
