EP 11: Yoga & The Path Towards Self-Realization with Jennifer Gannon

In the 11th episode of Between Soul & Sky, we journey into the ancient and transformative practice of Kriya Yoga with Jennifer Gannon — a certified Yoga and Breathwork teacher, spiritual guide, and creative strategist. With roots in both Eastern tradition and Western innovation, Jennifer offers a rare and integrated perspective on the spiritual path, blending deep inner wisdom with a grounded understanding of modern life. Together, we explore what makes Kriya Yoga so distinct — from its sacred pranayama techniques and energetic alignment with the chakras, to its powerful capacity to dissolve ego and awaken the soul’s memory. Jennifer shares her personal story of being drawn to the practice, how it reshaped her inner and outer world, and the subtle ways it guides one toward self-realization — not just in theory, but in direct experience. We discuss the soul’s karmic journey, the role of stillness and silence, and the fine balance between spiritual detachment and full-hearted participation in life. For those feeling called to the path of yoga but unsure where to begin, Jennifer offers a compassionate invitation for your own journey home.
