My Journey to Yoga & Sound Healing

​

Like many teenagers, I experienced high levels of stress during my GCSEs and A-Levels. I would spend hours revising on the floor, hunched over with poor posture. Over time, this led to severe back and neck pain, along with sleepless nights from stress. After visiting physiotherapists and chiropractors, I was introduced to stretching techniques and encouraged to try yoga. At 16, I bought my first Ashtanga Yoga book and began self-practice. By 17, I was attending regular classes.

​

At 21, I decided to deepen my practice and completed a 200-hour teacher training with Yoga London, one of Europe’s most established and respected yoga schools.

Still eager to explore more, I travelled to Rishikesh, India — known as The Capital of Yoga — to study at Shiva Yoga Peeth, a Yoga Alliance–recommended school with outstanding reviews. The intensive training included daily 13-hour sessions covering Cleansing Techniques, Pranayama, Meditation, Bandhas, Mudras, Teaching Practice, Anatomy, Yoga Philosophy, Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga, and Mantra Recitation. It was a truly life-changing experience.

​

Back in London, I continued to learn and grow through workshops with renowned teachers such as David Swenson and Norman Blair.

​

My journey with sound healing began unexpectedly. I attended my first session in India with skepticism — unsure what to expect, lying on the floor thinking, What is this supposed to do? It didn’t click at first. But a few years later, while feeling burnt out and mentally exhausted, I gave it another try. At first, my mind was racing. Then, halfway through the session, something shifted — my thoughts stopped. There was a brief but profound stillness. In those few seconds, I felt the most peace I’d ever known — my mind was clear, my body felt light, and I felt truly at ease.

​

That moment changed everything.

​

I knew then that I needed to share this practice with others. In 2023, I became a certified sound healing practitioner through Heron Moon School UK.
