Welcome to episode 167 with Nadia Gilani, who is a writer and yoga teacher.
Nadia was introduced to yoga as a teenager when her Mum took her along to a class as a way of helping her mental health.
Since then, yoga has been a constant and important part of her life but her relationship with the practice has not always been a smooth one.
In this episode I chat to Nadia about her experiences with mental illness that started when she was a teenager.
We chat about that first yoga class, what led her there and the impact that finding yoga has had since.
And we chat about eating disorders, sobriety and recovery and we chat about movement, physical health and why wellness is bullshit.
Of course, we chat a lot about yoga, how it can be beneficial with regards to mental health but also how it’s not the answer to everything like it’s often sold to be.
I absolutely loved chatting to Nadia! We had one of those wonderful conversations that goes absolutely everywhere and we really got in to some big topics.
I highly recommend her book The Yoga Manifesto which covers a lot of the themes we talk about here and a lot more besides. It’s out now and available everywhere.
You can follow Nadia on social media @theyogadiddident and learn more about her work via her website https://nadiagilani.co.uk
