Confessions Of A Cokehead Turned Yogi
Yoga came into my life at a very dark time, though I can see now that it was the perfect time for this gift. When life gives us a crappy situation, it’s up to us to find the bright side of that situation instead of playing the “Why me” card. We all have the ability to change our thoughts, and that’s why we all have the power to change our lives. This is one of the things I learned from yoga and – now that I’m a yoga teacher – it’s something I want my students to discover. Here is my story: On May 9, 2012, I was admitted to the hospital for my 20th surgery on a hernia repair. I had had a colostomy bag for four years because I was born with a tumor in my colon. When it was biopsied (I was in my early 20s), the...
Five Things I Learned From Cancer
This article was first posted on the Rebelle Society {Yulady Saluti ~ by Robert Sturman} “The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” ~ Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Last May, Yulady Saluti, a 32-year old yoga teacher, beautiful wife and mother of six, was diagnosed with stage-2 breast cancer.

Now That Radiation Is Done What Comes Next?
I just don’t know what comes next. To tell you the truth I have some fear and I miss going to the hospital everyday. The fear comes from the fact that when you finish treatment they don’t tell you that you are clear, they talk about milestones. The 1 year milestone and the 5 year and the 10 year. To be hones with you it sounds like crap to me. I am the type of girl that needs instant gratification so I want a real answer, they can’t give me a “real answer.”

Our long term goal is to create peaceful, Ashram inspired communities where these beautiful young adults can live, work , play and lead...
Ashrams For Autism And How Yoga Can Help Autism
Treatments for autism come in all shapes and sizes, and as families well know, what works for one autistic person doesn’t necessarily work for another. Choosing an intervention must be based on an autistic individual’s specific needs and the family’s emotional and fiscal comfort. An increasingly popular choice—which is gaining a greater foothold in the scientific community—is yoga. It doesn’t require expensive medications or time-consuming doctor’s visits. Once learned with the guidance of a specially-trained instructor, it’s a simple movement and breathing activity that researchers say can have far-reaching physical and psychological effects. In fact, a wide range of people on the spectrum can practice yoga, even at home, with limited supervision...
