Yoga and your recent Holistic experience

I have been practicing Anusara yoga for about three years now and can't speak highly enough about how valuable it has been in my life.  I have come to understand that the key to longevity in terms of a fit, comfortable and highly functional body and spirit; is yoga.  Anusara in particular emphasizes an anatomically correct body position in every pose and utilizes a theme in each class to connect the work done on the yoga mat to the experiences we have off the mat and throughout our lives.  It comes from a beautiful place and influences its practitioners to live through the heart where qualities as powerful as love, and compassion originate.  

I began my practice of Anusara yoga after moving to Colorado and joining a soccer team.  After playing a season or two, I was developing chronic back pain.  I would play a game on Sunday and be sore through the following week.  Having experienced the chronic pain-preventing benefits of yoga before, I made a pact with myself to find a yoga class and never be without it.  Since then, whether it's once a week or a three-week intensive of two classes per day, I have not been without yoga and my chronic pain is gone.  

 This experience has been a true awakening for me and my connection to my body.  Please take some time to comment on an enlightening experience you have had with holistic health.

Thanks as always for your participation.
