Teacher
Simranjeet Kaur, also known as Jackie Wakeford-Smith, joined the Metropolitan Police Service in London in the late 80s. As part of her policing career she was trained as a specialised Sexual Offences Interview Technique Officer (SOIT). Later in her career, she led a team of detectives, dedicated solely to the investigation of rape and serious sexual assaults. During her years of service she dealt with over one thousand cases, each of them left its own imprint and impact on Simranjeet’s physical and subtle bodies, which resulted in her suffering from secondary traumatic stress. As she got close to retirement, the compounded stress led to a collapse of her body and mind. She then started to practice Kundalini Yoga for her own healing process. Her immersion into the practice later led her to becoming a Kundalini Yoga teacher and trainer. Having used Kundalini Yoga for her own recovery process from prolonged secondary traumatic stress, Simranjeet was inspired to share these amazing yogic tools in the form of this beautiful book: a 40-day program using yoga and meditation to find peace within shattered pieces. Simranjeet Kaur has been practicing, studying and teaching Kundalini Yoga since 2009.
