Progress with and through the yoga: 

After 4 months of regular practice, I noticed that I was battling less and less of my ‘depressive demons’ and my previously rock hard shoulders and back had loosened up a little.

  • feel more relaxed after class

  • after breaking my right fibula, I spent the next 7 weeks on crutches. My back seized up again and my emotional state was all over the map.

  • I took a Bikram’s class the day the cast came off, only doing about 50% of the postures. I worked in baby steps and soon my back was looser and any depressive tendencies were slowly getting under control.

Changes in treatment for ailments: 

-Depression – Now no medications

Would like to tell people who are hesitant: 
  • it’s an ongoing process but learn to trust and enjoy it.
