Today we’d like to introduce you to Victoria Birch.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I have studied and practiced many types of yoga for almost 20 years! I was drawn into Kundalini Yoga because it gave me this tangible experience of the infinite timeless self — the sacred and expansive self. I had tasted this inner expansiveness practicing other types of yoga, but there was a new idea — of honoring and communing with your most inner self — a completely foreign concept to me before Kundalini Yoga.
What I mean by this is that Kundalini Yoga gave me the space to honor my inner voice — my inner wisdom, that deep stable knowing voice that we all have within us that just knows. It gave me the container to tap into that. The idea of being in alliance with your highest self, your most noble, a regal self is an invaluable aspect of the Kundalini teachings.
There are so many things that I love about the practice, but the music is really what pulled me in. We have so many talented musicians in our community who have created these sublime mantra songs. I could go to a Kundalini class and just be enveloped with this transcendent music — reciting mantra, listening to the sacred sounds. This is part of the practice — it’s called Naad Yoga, and there’s a whole science behind it. From the beginning, I felt deeply connected to this special sound current.
The practice of Kundalini Yoga, listening to and reciting mantra and experiencing the gong during class elevated my life in every way. I became a teacher, so I could share this powerful technology. It’s great. What I do keeps expanding and evolving; playing gong, crystal bowls… Reiki. And, we have fun! Just because it’s spiritual doesn’t mean it has to be serious all the time.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Of course not! Nothing in life comes without challenges, but obstacles are part of the growth process. I never thought I’d be doing what I’m doing now, but I couldn’t be more excited about where I am today.
Please tell us about Vedya Sangeet Sound & Yoga.
I’m a yoga teacher, a sound healer and a Reiki practitioner. I incorporate Reiki into my sound practice. I love playing and teaching different groups. Recently I’ve been doing sound baths for new mothers and their babies who just love the sounds of my instruments. It’s very relaxing for all involved. And this is just the beginning! As I grow, my offerings continue to grow, so I’m excited to share even more in the future.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Nothing! Mistakes are our biggest teachers.
