Alchemy of Yoga

Josh Erd · 02-02-2006, 11:35 PM

Yoga has changed my life in so many ways. When I stumbled upon yoga I was an 18 year old Marine in the mountains of Japan. On my off time I would ride my moutain bike through the mountain trails and on one occation I stumbled upon a group of what looked like monks doing Tai Chi. I took it for yoga. The image of those peaceful men doing what I thought was yoga never left me. After I got back from Japan I lived in California and started studying and practicing yoga. That was a decade ago and my life has changed and matured in so many ways but one of the few constants has been my yoga practice. Yoga is a form of alchemy that will change anyone who practices it to gold. If you have a yoga story I would love to hear it.

I submitted a reply to another topic you replied to, "has yoga changed your life." I just want to say that your story of how you came upon yoga is a beautiful one!
