Anneke Lucas’s story is nearly impossible to comprehend. Anneke was sold by her mentally-ill mother into a murderous, pedophile network at age 6. There she endured endless hours of rape and torture at the hands of powerful men from around the world. For 5.5 years the sex slavery continued with no hope of escape. It wasn’t until she was staring at her would-be murderer that she was miraculously saved.

There began a long and impossible road of unlearning and healing from unmanageable trauma. To her dismay mental health professionals were unable and unwilling to delve into her story and help her heal. It felt as if the horrible things would remain with her forever.

It was then that she found a therapist and a yoga practice that brought hope that things might get better.

Those same practices have since brought transformation for so many others through her work as a yoga therapist. Her story proves that people can overcome even the darkest moments a human can experience.
