Today I was interviewed by a college student writing a paper on U.S. subcultures.

This college student happens to be a young veteran, having returned just this last May from his third (!) tour overseas. He started doing yoga because of his service-related insomnia.

Let's be honest; I LOVE talking yoga. And as my answers spurred into tangents, his curiosity brought more questions about practices and the lifestyle.
He told me after that not everyone has been so open about their personal experience with yoga... But I, for one, am SO pleased to be an enthusiastic yoga maven!

He also indulged that up until now, he's been using this practice to heal, and that after talking with me, he's starting to wonder if this might also help him "find his way."

My answer?
It already is.


This is it, my friends. This is the warm-fuzzy stuff right here. THESE are the moments that bring me back to the mat to teach every day.

Amazed and grateful.
For you, and for all of your stories.
