Please find linked here the story of Emma, aged 42, who managed to find her way out of alcohol abuse and violent relationships through yoga.
Emma started drinking at a very young age, following a sense of devastation over her parent’s divorce, and then got involved with a very dangerous man in her teens. She also took a range of class-A drugs and was generally struggling with many aspects of her psychological and emotional life.
A turning point for Emma came in her thirties when she got involved with a particularly violent man, who assaulted her so badly that she has been left with permanent back pain. She took herself off for a two-week yoga retreat in Egypt, realising that something in her life had to drastically change.
Emma undertook a three-month residential yoga teacher training in 2006 and has never looked back; she believes that devoting herself to yoga in this way has enabled her to completely turn her life around. To read the full and inspiring story, please follow the link to the article. Namaste.
