Maha Bodhi escaped a brutal childhood and forced marriage in Yemen. When the pandemic threatened her career, she had to transform her life again.

Maha grew up in Yemen, where she endured a brutal upbringing and was forced into two violent arranged marriages. She managed to escape and set up a life for herself in the US, working initially in human resources. She quickly realised that teaching yoga was what she really wanted to do.

But when coronavirus hit in March 2020 and she couldn’t teach in person, Maha had to figure out a way to transform her life all over again. She decided to bridge her experience in the corporate world with her knowledge of yoga and wellness, becoming a leadership trainer, coach and workplace mindfulness expert. Now she helps stressed-out professionals find balance in their working lives. In this episode, Maha reveals how she survived a harrowing childhood, how she found freedom in yoga, and explains how she used the pandemic as a powerful force for change.
