And it made me realize, and it started me on this journey really have a lot of the research that I do. And I just felt so uncomfortable that mine was the only voice in the room, I felt that it was wrong, that other people were just doing what I told them to do. And it was a really big step for me to actually move into the space of being the voice of guidance for other bodies. I've been practicing yoga for about 10 years prior to that. And as soon as I got into the front of the room, I felt so uncomfortable. So and that's really why I started doing this work, because I actually became a yoga teacher almost 15 years ago. And we all deserve to be respected, seen and have space held for us in a way that acknowledges and loves us in our complexity. So all forms of movement and practice with any kind of practitioner must be trauma informed, because we are complex beings. So such a heavy load of traumatic stress, even if we're not aware of the emotional, physical, even sexual, and other forms of abuse that we may have sustained when we were young, or may not be able to relate to as abuse, because part of the effects of trauma is that it inhibits our awareness of ourselves and our circumstances. To add on that I really believe that all forms of movement and practice must be trauma informed, because we are all carrying. And I want to say I really loved your intro there. So I'm an author, fawning, researcher, and trauma informed pleasure educator, I started this work 14 years ago in trauma informed yoga. So I'm really excited to dive into this topic with you, Nisha, can you just start by telling us about your work? And how did you start working in this niche. But then once we understand a little bit more like some of those deeper roots, then we can understand ourselves more, and kind of step into what we really desire and become who we really want to become and show up in the world. And maybe they're experiencing something deeper, and on the surface level, we can't really tell what's going on. And it's just so interesting to me learning about trauma, I just think it's like, it's a topic that is so valuable, and one that we don't talk about enough, especially when it comes to our body, even body image or even feels like they, you know, are trying to achieve a health goal. Yeah, oh my gosh, this is such an exciting topic, we were just talking, before we jumped on the podcast, I just recently took a trauma informed yoga training class.
