I have also gone through trauma in the past, so I know that it takes a huge amount of courage to put this out there. Your tips are so helpful and some that I am definitely going to try to incorporate in my life. I also listened to your solo podcast about this topic and was very moved by your beautiful vulnerability and incredible strength.

Thank you,

For a long time I dealt with this in EVERY negative and unhealthy way possible until I hit rock bottom. I finally began to pull myself out of the hole I’d unintentionally created by surrounding myself with supportive people, and immersing myself in a lifestyle of health and positivity (which took years to cultivate – this didn’t happen overnight!).

I know exactly what you mean by ‘making a choice’ to be happy. Through yoga and fitness I make a point to reflect gratitude on my life every single day. This has helped me realize how LUCKY I am, and I’ve even gotten to the point of being grateful for what happened to me, because it helped create who I am now. Trauma affects us all in different ways, but I’m a firm believer that a healthy mind and body are key elements in healing. Thank you for sharing this!

I just purchased your soul on fire yoga e-book (YAY!). So far I LOVE it! However, I seem to have a problem with playing the videos on p. 144. It says I am supposed to click, and I have literally tried clicking everywhere on the page and nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong or does the videos only work on Mac or something like that? I will try on a different laptop tonight just to make sure it is not this one there is something wrong with. But basically I just wanted to ask you if I am doing anything wrong?
Thanks, love!
XOXO

I know deep breathing and doing yoga has really helped me over the years, especially working hectic hours in the office. I will definitely be listening to your podcast on my walk today! – Vanessa
