Welcome back to On the Light and to what is now our fifth season. I'm your host, Susan Johnson.
My guest today is Jaki Nett Jaki is one of the recipients of the Lighting the Way Award presented by IYNAUS in recognition of her decades of dedication to the study, practice, and teaching of Iyengar Yoga. Jaki received this honor at the recent IYNAUS Convention in Philadelphia.
In this conversation, Jaki reflects on nearly four decades of study in Pune, her deep and enduring relationship with Geeta Iyengar, and the profound influence Geetaji had on her life as a student, teacher, and practitioner. She shares stories of both Guruji and Geetaji that reveal not only their brilliance as teachers, but also their humanity, humor, compassion, and unwavering commitment to the subject of yoga.
At its heart, this is a conversation about lineage—how it is received, how it transforms us, and the responsibility each of us carries to preserve and pass on the teachings with integrity.
