How Yoga Changed My Life
I couldn’t breathe when I was fourteen years old, on my way to my Honors Biology class. I woke up in the cafeteria, with my then boyfriend peering over me. Discovering that I suffered from panic attacks which were so bad that they made me faint felt like it caused a huge change in my life, because I quickly realized that I never wanted to feel that way again. It felt like another thing to add to my seemingly ever-growing laundry list of personal problems, like it was the whipped cream on top of my sundae of cycling insomnia and clinical depression.

Understanding Yoga
Yoga is the art and science of living connected. Originating in India, and first found in Hindu scriptures, Yoga is a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between your mind, your body, and your surroundings.
