Jetmir Thompson, 200-ytt from Langhorne PA. I like to say yoga found me rather then me finding yoga. It was shortly after finishing two combat tours to Afghanistan as an infantry marine that yoga entered my life. I tried yoga as a way to replace the mundane repetition of going to the gym and soon found it to be not only physically challenging, but boosted my mental clarity as well. by the breathing techniques and gentle words of encouragement i was able to work through alot of my ptsd from war. It wasn't until I stopped doing yoga that I realized how much of a positive impact it had on me. I felt myself falling back into a depressive state and once I stepped back on to my matt I instantly felt that this is what my mind and body needed. This all began in 2013 and I have been practicing ever since. My wish as a teacher is to lift just one soul a little higher, to show you the astonishing light of your own being.
