A woman who was second in charge at a NSW yoga ashram 30 years ago says she’s not “the monster” being portrayed by child abuse victims.
Shishy was in a position of power at the Mangrove Yoga Ashram in the 1970s and 80s, where children were emotionally, physically and sexually abused by Swami Akhandananda.
She had sex with an under-aged boy and former residents of the ashram have told the sex abuse royal commission she violently slapped children and even procured some for Akhandananda for sex.
