Niroga Yoga Student Speaks Out -- Yoga Is Transforming her Life

One of Niroga's Yoga students, Genai, speaks out about her experience with Yoga and how it is changing her life.

Excerpts:
"I was really stressed out and depressed, and I didn't know how to deal with my anger. So I was always arguing with teachers, fighting with students, or people in the streets. Yeah, I was a little crazy.

"(Before yoga) I would definitely go out and drink, and, like do whatever drugs came my way.

"When I started doing yoga I was kinda amazed, because I was on this... natural kind of high, and I stopped relying on drugs to distract me from everything I was going through. I just started dealing with it. I was ok with life and I just started accepting it for what it was.

"Yoga somehow, some way... it helps you center yourself, and you heal. You never completely heal, but you're always healing."
