So that that was exactly the the idea. I'd been on a very, very deep and profound and transformative journey with yoga. I basically got into the practice in my late 20s, when, in quick succession, I lost my dad to a brain tumour and then got dumped by my long term boyfriend, and painful therapy extraordinarily painful. I felt like I lost my past and my future in the very same moment. And I was in a deep depression, and I had also just opened a restaurant. So I was working crazy, crazy hours and very physically demanding circumstances. And I was really unable unable to cope. I A I felt the heartbreak and the grief very physically. And to cut a long story short, I started working, we had a we had a waitress who started working at our restaurant. And I told her what had gone on in my life and how difficult I was finding it. I couldn't sleep, I didn't want to eat. I felt very, very cut off from the world. And I felt like my life had changed in a way that was completely out of my control. And what I later understood was that I was experiencing trauma. My emotions were all over the place, I was aggressive, I was depressed I was, I couldn't trust myself, and I didn't feel safe in my body. And again, all these things that I sort of later found out work were symptoms of trauma. But she, she told me, Oh, well, there's this local meditation teacher who really helped me through a rough period of time, why don't you go and see him. And for some reason I did. And I started meditating with this teacher. And it really, really helped me I connected with it very quickly. And from there, I started practising moving meditation, yoga with that same teacher. And again, that release started to happen. And I started to feel safe, I started to feel peaceful, I started to feel like I could begin to cope with the intensity of my emotions and the intensity of the pain that I was in. And I quickly developed a very regular practice. And I got very, very interested in what this was. So I had gone into it as a complete sceptic, I, you know, when when this waitress had said to me, go and see a meditation teacher, I was just like, What the fuck are you talking about? Like, there's no way meditation is gonna even touch the sides of the of the level of pain that I'm in. But something in me was curious and open. So I did. And so I started asking these questions. What is this what is happening in my body? Why is making these weird shapes with my body that I've never done before, and make me feel quite weird, given that I'm sort of upside down a lot and twisting and looking in new directions. And it was all really unfamiliar to me. What is this? Why is it working? Why do I come out feeling peaceful, and like that endless chattering of my mind has stopped all the awful storytelling that goes on, you know, when you're in pain, all the demons that come up and out and, you know, tell you that you're worthless, telling you that you deserved this, that sort of stuff. You know, it was, it was a tool that was taking away my suffering. So I got really interested in it. And I went away to do a teacher training in yoga, not because I wanted to be a teacher, but because I just wanted to dive further into the technology of it and the history and background. I just wanted to know more about it. And it was the only thing I wanted to do was practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, you know, it was quite obsessive. And so when I came out of the teacher training, I really have more questions, I wanted to go deeper again. And I had this realisation that I wanted to teach and take the practice into all the places in the world where there was the most pain, because if it had carried me through what was the most pain I had ever experienced, then it was bound to be replicable and useful elsewhere. And at that time, I felt like I want to work in prisons, I want to work work in mental health care. This should be in all schools, that should be you know, this has got to be accessible everywhere, because this is profoundly healing and profoundly powerful. What I also didn't realise at that time, until quite a lot later, was that I was experiencing a kundalini awakening, which is basically when it's again, it's rather hard to articulate. It's like a spiritual experience that is quite hard to put into words. But effectively, I had had a massive unleashing of my spiritual energy, I suppose that's the best way to put it. And it had given me a new found perspective on life and my connection to the planet and my role in the world. And it made me feel totally powerful. And I went on from that teacher training to travel around California and spend some time there and I realised that I wanted to live there because at that time, I was still there's a lot going on there around I embody Education And Spirituality. And it's quite a different mindset to London where I'm from, which is much more empirical and much more sceptical and cynical. I wanted to go and be somewhere where I could really be in the flow of my spirituality, and the sort of depths of experiencing that I was going through. So I remember Googling, you know, is there such a thing as a master's degree in in yoga studies. And lo and behold, there was and weirdly enough, there was one in California. So I applied. And what was really exciting about that programme was that it had an additional year long certificate training in yoga, mindfulness and social change, which was learning from educators who had taken the practice into schools, prisons, social care. You know, who working on yoga and body image or yoga and colonialism or yoga and restorative justice yoga and the prison system like, they were doing really exciting, groundbreaking, like forward thinking, progressive work, in the way that only America can, you know, America is so philanthropic. And I knew I had to go and learn from them. Because I knew that I wanted to, to formalise and put into scientific language, the healing process that I had just been through, so that I could be a spokesperson and almost like an ambassador for the practice, rather than just being a yoga practitioner, or yoga teacher who's like, everyone should do yoga, it's so good, because I say so, you know, I knew that I had to have the science, because in order to make sense of my own journey, which once I started studying at masters level, I finally understood that what I had experienced was trauma, you know, that gave me the language to understand why my emotions were all over the place, why I felt unsafe of my body, how it was that yoga, you know, supported my journey through that and supported my healing. So my master's degree really gave me the context that I was seeking to understand what I had been through at this sort of neurological, physiological, emotional, spiritual levels. And then to give me the framework for knowing how to take this work into places where it wasn't being accessed. So it really was about turning something very mystical into something empirical so that I could prove to other sceptics in the education system or in the prison system, or wherever this works, and I'm going to, I'm going to show you how it works.
