“My mental health struggles helped me find yoga, or yoga found me. I found it at work, at this rehab I worked at.. but this is almost less important rather that I was in a major and traumatic transition point in my life and I felt it, WOW, a flood of emotions and energy, life.. light shoot through me. I remember telling my therapist who just did not get it.. I think I just felt spirituality. I was in tears.. it felt so good to feel connected. It was like getting shackles taken off after over 15 years of them holding me back. It was freedom. It was new life and energy. It was like the “magic pill” all the psychiatrists were trying to prescribe to fix me, but it came from within me.”
