“I have been teaching yoga for over 15 years, and I have to say that the connection and the vibe that<br />

was in the room not only fostered a sense of well-being and love, but it really felt as if we were<br />

creating healing through compassion. Among us, was a TBI survivor and it was her very first<br />

experience practicing yoga. She admitted it was the scariest thing that she has done in a long time<br />

and she is so thankful that she came. Probably one of the most amazing things was that even those<br />

practicing across from her, and next to her, had no idea of her physical limitations because the idea<br />

of connecting with and loving oneself was the key focus of the night. This idea of discovering our<br />

own potential allowed each participant to dive inside of themselves and in turn, that love spilled<br />

over and through the room to everyone else! We are stronger when we are together!!!”<br />
