How were you introduced to yoga?


What are your views on God and what do you mean when you encourage people to redefine their relationship to God?Do you have any perspectives on hope and faith that might help individuals navigate today’s world?What do you think is one of the biggest issues plaguing humanity?Your book is called Popcorn In My Pocket; can you explain where that comes from?Can you tell us about your privilege and what you mean when you speak of 'owing privilege."When you say we are far more connected than we could ever imagine, what do you mean?People have varied understandings of Yoga and the western world has commercialised it a bit...can you tell us what yoga means to you.Do you believe in manifestation and the power of thought?If you had one opportunity to speak to someone for 5 minutes, what would you share with them?


About TROY


I was born in Trinidad to a father of middle-eastern descent and a mother of Irish ancestry. I was seven years the youngest of three brothers in a Catholic home and, in many ways, benefited from the path my brothers cleared for me.
I didn't break the rules in conventional ways, that would have been too easy. I challenged social norms and questioned anything I didn't think was in alignment. I had a close relationship with Christ that I maintain to this day but called 'BS' on many views of the church and organized religion. Reggae culture and Rastafarian influences had a huge impact on my youth and exposed me to a reality outside of my privilege, and instilled within me a sense of responsibility to make a difference in the world.
At 14 years old, I was sent to detention, where a teacher gave me a text on yoga to read and I went to detention every lunchtime of my own free will to read more. I didn't realize until recently the impact that had on my life, but when I graduated from University people would ask what I'm going to do with my life......I would respond, " I'm going to teach yoga." - The thing is, at that time, I wasn't even practicing yoga or didn't think I was (Yoga is far more than just postures and in many ways I had been practicing yoga for a long time.)
After running a hemp store (not a head shop) for seven years I opened a waste cooking oil recycling business and sold it some years later to dedicate my life to studying and teaching Yoga. Now an international yoga teacher, public speaker, and author (seeking representation), I am excited to see what life has in store and how it all unfolds.
