At first, her attendance was sporadic. The fallout of a divorce, which was traumatic for all involved, prompted a more serious practice of Kundalini Yoga in 2000. She realized that the practice addressed every human emotion or commotion that one could name, and she saw her way of thinking-and living-shifting in noticeable, positive ways, little by little. Often the only one or sometimes one of a few people of color in her yoga classes, she lamented the fact that those of the African diaspora were missing out on an opportunity to experience the expansiveness and healing that a Kundalini Yoga practice offers.Then she met Krishna Kaur, a dynamic African-American woman who had studied with the master of Kundalini Yoga himself, Yogi Bhajan. Krishna convinced her to become a certified teacher of Kundalini Yoga. To achieve this, MutShat Shemsut-Gianprem flew from New York to Krishna's teacher training in Los Angeles every month for eight months, becoming a Level One certified Kundalini Yoga instructor in 2008. In addition to Krishna, she has studied with Gurucharan Singh Khalsa and Nirvair Singh Khalsa in Espanola, New Mexico; with Sat Jivan Singh and Sat Jivan Kaur in New York; and with Mehtaband Siri Bahadur in Austin, Texas.Graduating from Spelman College in 1978 with a B.A. in English, MutShat went on to earn an M.A. in Afro-American studies and an M.S. in journalism from Boston University. She earned an M.S. in Education from Lehman College and an M.S. in School Leadership from Mercy College. She worked as a journalist for a small Harlem newspaper as a teen, then briefly worked as a journalist for a large metropolitan newspaper as an adult. She got married, had children, became a public school teacher, went into work early, left late, paid bills, and knew that there was something else that she should be doing.As the owner of Purest Light Wellness, a holistic well-being center in the Bronx, New York, she is now doing her mission: helping others on their spiritual journeys while continuing her own. In addition to teaching Kundalini Yoga and Meditation at Level Two, she has begun her first Level Three Mela in 2019. MutShat practices a Kemetic spiritual system and is a healer wabet (priestess), and seba (teacher) of Ankh Kemetic Energy Medicine, an ancient technology akin to reiki (she was attuned by Ra Sekhi founder Rekhit Kajara Nia Yaa Nebthet). She is level one certified in foot reflexology and in sacred art and yoga. As a community wellness advocate, MutShat is available for teaching, wellness, and speaking engagements.
