Parveen Nair is a long-term yoga teacher and practitioner based in Rishikesh, India. He offers teacher trainings and programs in Rishikesh and is known for his creative and inspired yoga practice routines that incorporate pranayama and asana. Parveen's approach to yoga is influenced by his background in dance and his deep spiritual connection to the practice.

Connect with Parveen on Instagram @inbornmovements https://www.instagram.com/inbornmovements/?hl=en
​
During this conversation Parveen speaks about:

• Yoga is not about perfecting asanas, but about developing the capacity to bring quietness to the mind and recognizing one's true nature.
• The practice of centering and connecting with the body as it is, without trying to change or perfect it, is essential in yoga.
• Deep sleep can serve as a reminder of one's true nature and the peace that exists beyond the mind and body.
• Templates can be helpful in guiding movement and creating an embodied yoga practice, but it is important not to copy or compare oneself to others.

I am grateful for the opportunity to introduce you to Athena Vaughn. This episode is titled Surviving Trauma and Finding Recovery. Athena was kind and brave enough to share her story with me. I'd like to offer a trigger warning as some of the stories she shares may be challenging to hear. Her ability to speak her story with such clarity is a true gift. She believes that by sharing her experiences it can help others and I agree. :)

Find Athena on her Instagram at: @authenticallyathenaslc
You can also find her on her website at: https://authenticallyathenaslc.squarespace.com/

Some of the topics we discuss during this conversation are:

• The difference is between CPTSD and PTSD. 
• What is Kundalini yoga? 
• The transition to a safe place. 
• How Athena has learned to heal her traumatic experiences?
• How to deal with trauma in yoga? 
• Where do we draw the line between trauma and illness? 
• Sharing her own story.
