About the author

Heidi Wyder, née Johnson, was born in Sussex, England. She studied French and German and started song writing in her first job as a language teacher. Her two debut albums (Peeling Oranges and Solitaire) met with acclaim and she started to gig in the UK and USA shortly before purchasing a round-the-world ticket, due to a long-standing ambition to travel.

The original intention was to find places to perform in Australia, but a planned one month “stop-over” in India was extended to almost three years after she met a spiritual master, “Guruji” (Yogi Prakash Shankar Vyas), and started to learn yoga and meditation as a complete beginner. This story is written in her book Footsteps to Freedom, Four Spiritual Masters of Kriya Yoga and a Beginner.
