Flawed foolish and fantastic: Season 1 Episode 3 - Japjeet Kaur

The flawed, foolish and fantastic podcast explores the great work being carried out by fantastic people in the Punjabi community. In this episode Kamalpreet Singh talks to Dr. Japjeet Rajbir Kaur (° 1979 in Belgium as Nele Bemong, but based in Leicester since 2012) gained her PhD in 19th-century literary studies and worked in academia (at K.U.Leuven in Belgium & Penn University in Philadelphia, USA) for over a decade before she left her academic career in 2011 and moved to the UK. She started teaching yoga and working as a holistic therapist in 2008 already, but since 2012 this has become her full-time employment. She is a Kundalini Yoga (not following Yogi Bhajan) & Yin Yoga teacher, she’s been running women’s circles & women’s retreats for over a decade, and her passion for working with women guided her 7 years ago to becoming a Closing the Bones practitioner, and later Closing the Bones trainer for the UK and Europe. It also directed her focus in yoga, nutrition, aromatherapy and herbal medicine to different areas of women’s lives and womb work. A lot of what she offers is centred around fertility problems, PCOS, endometriosis, painful periods, as well as sexual and/or birth trauma. Japjeet also teaches pregnancy, postnatal & baby yoga and serves as a pregnancy doula (focussing on Empowered Birthing work with her clients) and postpartum doula. Alongside offering Closing the Bones ceremonies & Rebozo massages, Japjeet also offers Restorative massages (and trains others in this discipline), and works as a health & nutrition coach, a life & yoga coach, and an aromatherapist (with her own line of organic skincare and natural cleaning products), and she also hand-makes meditation malas. For 6 years in a row now (2017-2022), ThreeBestRated awarded her with their ‘Badge of Excellence’ as ‘Best Business of the Year’ for the category Yoga Classes in Leicester. In 2020 GHP awarded her ‘Yoga School of the Year – Leicestershire’ and for 2021-2022 she received Central England's Prestige Award as 'Yoga Studio of the Year'.
