Gina: The Medicine of Mantra
Gina is a world traveler who has collected teachings to share to the collective. She has been teaching yoga + mantra for over 10 years, and currently leads mantra workshops in Oregon. Gina's story beautifully illuminates the importance of "going inwards", within this episode we discuss multiple practices that facilitate that inward journey.
Gina has led quarterly workshops on the potent practice of Yoga Nidra in Portland, co-taught women’s retreats on Oahu, Hawaii alongside colleague and healer Jodie Snyder and has also spent 2016 and 2017 co-creating and co-leading six 200-hour yoga teacher training programs in Bali, Indonesia. In early 2019 she took her philosophy lectures and kirtans to Ecuador in another 200-hour teacher training alongside the soul family she met during her lengthy stay in Indonesia.
Gina resonates most with the path of Bhakti yoga and spends most of her free time reading sacred texts, chanting mantra and immersing herself in stories about the deities and saints as a large part of her home practice. The connection derived from this place is what truly feeds her soul and provides her with a sense of perfect peace with all that is.
I've been to multiple workshops that Gina has held, and the power of her voice is so transformative! She has helped me connect to my own voice, I'm so blessed to know her and excited to share this episode with you all. You can connect with Gina in a variety of ways, her Instagram is : @gina.rodondi
