Episode 96: “Feet First: Reclaiming Your Foundation” with Nandini Lisa Apatini

In this episode of The Art of Aging Mindfully, I sit down with Nandini Lisa Apatini to explore the profound connection between our feet, our body, and the way we move through life.

Nandini shares her remarkable healing journey following a car accident at age 20, which broke her tibia and fibula and temporarily removed her ability to walk. Through the practice of yoga and mindful movement, she not only regained mobility but discovered a deep window into the world of the feet—our often-overlooked foundation.

We dive into:

• How the feet shape our posture, balance, and vitality
• The insights that arise when we reconnect with the body from the ground up
• Practical approaches to integrating foot awareness into yoga and daily life
• The inspiration behind her upcoming workshop, “Feet First: Reclaim Your Roots in Yoga & Life”, where participants learn to strengthen, liberate, and honor their feet

Whether you’re a seasoned yogi, a curious mover, or someone recovering from injury, this conversation offers practical wisdom and inspiration to help you reconnect with your body, step by step.

Listen in and discover how paying attention to your foundation can transform your movement, your balance, and your life.

In this rich and heartfelt conversation, Jai sits down with Harish Bharadwaj—yoga teacher, Vedic scholar, and lifelong spiritual practitioner—for a deep dive into the foundations of yogic philosophy. Together, they explore the Four Paths of Yoga—Bhakti (devotion), Karma (selfless action), Jnana (wisdom), and Raja (meditative discipline)—and how each offers a doorway into spiritual maturity and personal evolution.

Harish also shares practical insights into karma as a force that shapes our lives through intention, action, and consequence, and how conscious living helps transform karmic patterns. The episode culminates with a discussion of Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of Yoga, illuminating how these timeless principles guide us toward liberation, ethical living, and deep inner stillness.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to connect more fully with the heart of yoga—not just as physical exercise, but as a complete spiritual path rooted in ancient wisdom and personal responsibility.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The essential distinctions between the four main yogic paths
• How karma operates in daily life, and how to shift from unconscious reaction to conscious action
• Why the 8 Limbs of Yoga remain relevant in today’s fast-paced world
• Reflections from both Jai and Harish on integrating philosophy with modern practice

Whether you’re new to yogic philosophy or looking to deepen your current practice, this conversation offers clarity, context, and heartfelt guidance.
