And what does it really take to live without fear?</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of Walking the Path of Love, Charlyn sits down with <strong>Devarshi Steven Hartman</strong>, a yogi and spiritual leader whose work has shaped many students, including her own. He’s the founder of the Pranotthan Yoga School and the former director of professional training and dean of the Kripalu School of Yoga. He’s taught thousands of yogis and joins Charlyn to talk about his new book, The Three Essentials.</p><p><br></p><p>As a longtime spiritual teacher, Devarshi offers his wisdom for spiritual advancement, drawing on his experiences for context. He shares the teachings that have shaped his work, breaking them down into three main pillars: the practice of conscious breathing, the five koshas as they relate to habitual patterns, and the belief that we are infinite, eternal, and whole. Then he speaks about the importance of community and how surrounding yourself with like-minded people can be crucial to your personal growth.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>It takes years to master yoga’s principles, breathing practices, and the spiritual teachings behind them. But Devarshi has managed to uncomplicate the path without losing sight of the messages. Throughout this rich conversation, he unpacks what it means to tear down the walls, choose a more peaceful, fearless way of living, and ultimately what true transformation looks like.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Episode takeaways</strong></p><ul><li>Why love is a vibration and a transmission, not just an action (07:51)</li><li>The five koshas, and how our habitual, unconscious patterns get held in the body, breath, and mind (11:54)</li><li>Why peace and fear cannot coexist, and what it means to walk a genuinely fearless path (19:48)</li><li>The importance of community and relationship as a mirror we can't give ourselves (25:36)</li><li>The five causes of suffering, and why \"you are infinite, eternal, and whole\" is the essential belief underneath them all (21:15)</li><li>How loss and brushes with mortality reshaped Devarshi's relationship to the present moment (37:23)</li><li>Conscious breathing as the foundation, and the doorway, of all yoga practice (43:07)</li><li>Practical first steps for integrating the Three Essentials into daily life (46:37)</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Devarshi Steven Hartman:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.stevenhartman.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/devarshi.yoga/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/devarshi.hartman/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Three-Essentials-Timeless-Principles-Self-Transformation/dp/172250742X\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Get the book, The Three Essentials</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Let's connect:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.charlynreihman.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/charlyn.peart\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/charlyn.reihman/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Path-Love-Connecting-Teachings/dp/1982247967\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Get your copy of Walking the Path of Love: Connecting to the Kripalu Lineage and the Core Teachings of Swami Kripalu</a></li></ul>","author_name":"Charlyn Anandamai Reihman"}
