Discovering Yoga: How it Rescued Me and Can Transform You

Welcome, everyone! In this post, I'll be sharing my personal journey with yoga, a path that took me from a challenging start in Iran to finding peace and transformation in the practice.

Early Struggles: Born and raised in Iran, I moved to the U.S. at age 10, facing a rough home life that led me to drop out of school and run away to Austin by the age of 17.

Yoga Finds Me: At 19, I stumbled upon yoga, and it became a pivotal point in my life. Despite my unconventional path, I managed to graduate from UT with degrees in psychology and accounting, where I also found love.

Family and Motherhood: The transformative power of yoga extended to my personal life. I married the love of my life, and together we have two amazing kids. Yoga has deepened my connections and enriched my relationships.

Self-Discovery: Yoga became my lifeline, teaching me self-worth, acceptance, and that my body is a temple. It reshaped my perspective on myself and the world, fostering positive changes in my relationships, especially with myself.

Sharing My Story: I debated sharing my story, but I realized that many people feel they can't embrace yoga until certain aspects of their lives align. Yoga is inclusive, welcoming everyone regardless of their background, age, beliefs, or financial situation.

Yoga, a powerful force in my life, is a practice that meets you wherever you are. If my journey resonates with you, I'm here to help you start your own yoga journey. Don't hesitate to reach out—I'd love to be a part of your transformation. Sending you all love and positive energy. 💖 - Paradise
