Episode - 15 "The Turning Point: Sigrid Van Tassel on Breaking Free and Finding Herself"

The Kundalini Awakening Podcast

Welcome to Episode - 15 of our Podcast “Kundalini Awakening from Karma to Dharma”.

In this conversation, Sandesh welcomes Sigrid Van Tassel to his podcast. They met at a Kundalini Yoga event for Belgian and Dutch teachers. Sigrid shares her journey of working hard, burning out, finding a new path, and now helping others with what she's learned. She talks about the importance of community, or "Sangat," and how we can all learn from each other.

Sigrid then opens up about her life before discovering yoga. She describes how she used to live by what society expected—getting a diploma, a good job, and following a traditional path—but felt disconnected from herself. She tried to please others and fit in, which left her feeling empty and unhappy. Over time, she realized she was losing touch with who she really was, and this led her to seek change through yoga.

This wake-up call pushed Sigrid to take control of her life and follow her heart. She chose to pursue Kundalini Yoga, marking the beginning of her spiritual path toward self-growth and empowerment. Sandesh acknowledges how, as teachers, people often don’t see the struggles they’ve overcome to get where they are. Sigrid reflects on how she used to make decisions from her head, disconnected from her emotions, but Kundalini Yoga helped her reconnect with her true self.
