There’s something almost surreal about returning to the roots of your practice after so many years.

Recently, I shared a short Kundalini breathwork practice on YouTube — Ego Eradicator with Breath of Fire — and as I recorded it, I found myself reflecting on where all of this began. (The practice video is below).

I was just 20 years old when I first walked into a Kundalini Yoga school in Toronto.

I remember feeling both curious and deeply uncomfortable.

The room was quiet in a way that felt different from other yoga spaces. People were dressed in white. There were chants. The exercises were unfamiliar. Some of the movements were repetitive, rhythmic, almost strange to my nervous system at the time.

 

I didn’t fully understand what I was doing.

But something in me stayed.

Not because it was comfortable.

But because it felt honest.

Kundalini Yoga wasn’t about performing flexibility or achieving perfect shapes. It was about energy. Breath. Awareness. Endurance. Presence.

It asked me to sit with myself in ways I hadn’t before.

At first, my mind resisted. My body resisted. My ego resisted.

But underneath that resistance, something quieter was happening.

I was building a relationship with my nervous system.

The Anchor I Didn’t Know I Was Building

At 20 years old, I couldn’t have predicted how much those early practices would shape the next two decades of my life.

Kundalini Yoga gave me tools that went far beyond the mat.

 

Breath of Fire taught me how to regulate my internal state.

Stillness taught me how to listen.

Repetition taught me how to stay.

Over time, these practices became less about the form, and more about the internal experience.

They became an anchor.

Through relationships, motherhood, grief, healing, creative rebirth — my breath was always there.

Waiting.

Available.

Unconditional.

How My Practice Has Evolved

 

My work today blends many influences — somatic embodiment, nervous system awareness, intuitive movement — but the roots are still there.

Kundalini Yoga taught me that the body is not something to control.

It is something to listen to.

It taught me that energy moves when we allow it to move. That healing doesn’t come from forcing, but from creating safety for the body to release what it has been holding.

Many of the practices I share now, including Breath of Fire and subtle somatic activation, are directly connected to those early years.

Not as rigid tradition.

But as living, breathing integration.

Returning to the Practice

 

Recording this recent practice felt like closing a circle and opening another.

Not returning to who I was at 20 — but honouring her.

Honouring the version of me who walked into that studio unsure, curious, and willing to stay.

That willingness changed my life.

And it continues to shape the work I share today.

And if you’d like to go deeper, I’ve shared the extended 25-minute practice inside my Kundalini Energy Activation 🐍collection.

What I Know Now

You don’t need to understand everything for it to begin working.

Sometimes the body knows long before the mind catches up.

And sometimes the practices that feel unfamiliar at first become the ones that carry you home to yourself.
