Every family has its hardships and a certain degree of dysfunction. Our family was no different. We grew up super poor but we were loved. Our Dad taught us about meditation and our Creator. Our Mom was the rock, the love, that kept us all together. She taught us to follow our heart and to love and take care of people. Our parents divorced when all 6 kids were still young. Our Dad leaving left a wake of pain and turmoil in the family. There are countless stories of craziness that we could tell, but the real story is how these experiences growing up sparked an obsessive desire to learn how to be free of the mental and emotional pain from our past and how to live at peace and in abundance. While we can’t control all the events of life, we do get to choose the meaning of them and what we wish to do with them. Our search for the solution led us to yoga and shaped our unique approach to the practice.
