**TRIGGER WARNING** This episode contains descriptions of misconduct that may trigger friends and listeners who are victims and survivors of sexual and physical abuse.  In this thought provoking interview with my childhood friend, yoga teacher Sat Siri Rachel, we talk about living in grace and the profound shifts to liberation that reveal what is hidden in plain sight. I ask Sat Siri what brings her home to herself, it doesn’t have to be kundalini yoga, that is just one tool. Sat Siri shares her own personal experience and growth that has allowed her to live in alignment with her own integrity.  In this deep conversation, we talk about:  - Collective trauma and shame. - What does it mean to live from a place of truth and grace, and discovering a true reckoning of living your spiritual path?  - How do we keep a yoga tradition sacred, and do we need to, when it (Kundalini yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan) is linked to sexual abuse and corruption allegations? - We discuss the sexual abuse allegations surrounding yogi bhajan and learning to do deep self-inquiry. - How do you become the authority of your own life? About Sat Siri Rachel: Sat Siri has been practicing Yoga and Meditation for over twenty years and teaching Kundalini Yoga for fourteen. She practiced Iyengar Yoga, Vipassna Meditation, and many other modalities before finding Kundalini Yoga. Sat Siri is a teacher of teachers, her classes are open to all levels – uplifting, challenging and healing. She has a unique ability to anchor the more esoteric qualities of this technology, bringing the tools into practical, everyday life. She believes it is everyone’s birthright to experience the peace, grace, and blessings that awaken with daily Yoga and Meditation. A former ballet dancer with the Australian Ballet, Sat Siri found ballet meditation in motion, a creative expression that renewed her perspective with each step, turn or jump. “I fulfilled my childhood dream of dancing with the Australian Ballet. The truth that no matter how many times I practiced a step or a turn or a jump in the studio, once on stage everything was new and fresh, I was in the present moment. I had to be, sublimely so. Every breath mattered.”  References: https://satsiriyoga.com  https://www.instagram.com/satsiri/  Facebook Support Group: Beyond the Cage https://www.facebook.com/groups/premka/
