Her pronouns are she/her. She first discovered yoga after her mum took her to a class in the 1990s (and she really didn’t want to go!) She has been practising ever since. Nadia has extensive experience of working with people with different bodies and from all walks of life and is deeply committed to making yoga inclusive. Her approach to teaching is contemporary and explorative while maintaining a deep respect for the ancient practice. Mentions:Connect with NadiaWebsite: nadiagilani.co.ukThe Yoga Manifesto: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yoga-Manifesto-Helped-Needs-Itself/dp/1529065100Mental Health: MIND, Black Minds MatterIdle Women: https://www.idlewomen.org/Marlon James: https://marlonjameswriter.com/Connect with us:Ama Rouge Website: www.wearewildwithin.comIG: @powerup.podcast @ama.rouge @wearewildwithin @rougedoesfoodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ama-rouge-870b60138FB: AmaRougemovesTwitter: @podcastpowerupElla Mesma Website: www.ellamesma.co.uk, www.mayagandaia.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ella-mesma-b6071320/IG: @powerup.podcast @Ellamesma @Maya_GandaiaFB:@EllaMesma @MayaGandaia Twitter: @podcastpowerupMusic by Tomo Carter IG: @tomocarterIf you are or have been affected by any of the topics we've discussed in this episode here are some organisations you may find helpful:https://www.blackmindsmatteruk.com/www.mind.org.uk https://seed.charity/https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/abuse/#DomesticAbuseAndViolenceSupportOptionsEverything else brought to you by us, the PowerUp! power team
