Denise Kirpal KaurPracticing, meditating, chanting and opening a fearful heart has revealed that union to me. I feel it is not enough to practice yoga but to live yoga, in every thought, word and deed. Teaching from my actual experiences of Sadhana, commitment, courage, calm and love provides a safe, loving and nurturing space for others to open and grow. My spiritual name, Kirpal, means “merciful and compassionate one”, and it reminds me that each of us is going through the same kinds of pains, joys, desires, losses, gains and expectations. I am simply grateful for every experience I have, every day, and for each being I meet.divinelightyoga.com
