Purpose of the Story

In this story, I share an interview that I conducted with Aisha.

I am pleased that Aisha joined ILLUMINATION recently and adapted to the culture of our publication quickly.

I feel like I have known Aisha for years.

Let’s explore Aisha’s exciting and energetic life!

Tell us a bit about your background, Aisha.

Originally from wonderful Copenhagen, I’ve lived in dynamic London for the past 15 years. I’ve always been interested in self-development and have tried many different approaches to learn more about myself. I recently did a 10-day vipassana meditation as a self-retreat, actually, I did it four times with short gaps in between — its a great way to observe yourself.

Last winter, I hiked in Nepal on my own for four days while it was snowing heavily — yes, that was dangerous, and please don’t try it! I returned to London early this year and committed myself to Hatha Yoga, which I’ve been practicing twice a day for the past six months now.
