More About Polly

My journey didn’t start polished.

I’ve always been a bit of an oddball. Quirky, arty, never fitting in line. From a very early age, there’s a story of me sitting in a high chair at the dinner table with my family, and I said:

That was a little girl already on a mission to dig deep into the human soul. Maybe it was destiny, maybe it was curiosity. Either way, my path has always been to go deeper.

The Turning Point

Fast forward a few years. After a handful of shitty relationships and being a bit of a narcissist magnet, I found myself alone in Austria at around 19. I was pretty screwed up, living in a world that didn’t feel like it was made for me.

I went to therapy, and a psychologist told me to try Kundalini yoga.

At that time, I was drinking a lot, doing drugs, and feeling like I didn’t fit in anywhere or with anyone. But that’s where my real journey started. I promised I’d go to the classes, and I did — even if I was having a beer straight after.

Within four sessions, I started to feel a shift. By the fifth, I didn’t go for that beer.

And I found myself asking the same question I did as a little girl: “Is this all we are?”

Only this time, it didn’t come from confusion. It came from awakening.

The Garage Era

But the business side of things didn’t really begin until 2020. It started in a garage, in the middle of a pandemic.

Back in 2020, during lockdown, I was filming yoga videos in my stepdad’s garage, surrounded by spiders, dust, and absolutely no clue what I was doing. I just turned up the day everything shut down and thought, I’ll offer some yoga for free for a few weeks.

At first, it was just videos to help people feel a bit better in their bodies. No strategy, no big plan. Just an iPhone, instinct, and consistency.

Over time, those videos started reaching more and more people. What began as something personal became something much bigger. Around 60,000 people turned up. We ended up on ITV News, with media coming to film us. It was a crazy time, but we made the most of it and built our own yoga membership from there.

Where We Are Now

Fast forward a few years, and that small start has grown into a global community. Millions of people reached every month. A thriving online platform, courses, live classes, and a business built around helping people come back home to themselves.

But the work has never really changed.

I don’t see myself as someone here to fix people or tell them what they are. I teach people how to listen to themselves. How to feel again. How to trust their own body, their own energy, their own truth.

Kundalini, for me, isn’t about performance or perfection. It’s about awareness. It’s about nervous system safety. It’s about remembering who you are underneath all the noise.

Everything I’ve built has come from that place.
