Begin Again: Brian Dillon
“Going through a divorce, you think the world is going to end. I remember thinking “I’m going to die alone. I’m going to be an old man dying alone.” It’s of one of the first thoughts I had. The whole process; the negativity, the animosity, the break down and finally, the end of my marriage […]

Timing is Perfect in all Things: Abby Rosmarin
“My yoga journey did not have the most profound start in the world. I started doing yoga because I was a runner and had really tight hamstrings… I couldn’t physically touch my knees and so I’d start doing yoga to get a “good stretch”. I vaguely knew that there was a spiritual element to it, […]

Strength Comes From Overcoming Things You Once Thought You Couldn’t: Rich Adams
“I was a reasonably active guy in my twenties, but became more sedentary as I got into my 30’s and time went on, naturally putting on some weight. Life happened! It really came at me during this time – I changed jobs and got married, and exercise wasn’t at the forefront of my mind. Jump […]

Create an Atmosphere of Love: Olympia Clark
“People are always surprised when they hear my story because where I am now is not anywhere near where I started. From the time I was in elementary school, up until college and even after, I was training as a competitive athlete. I played field hockey, volleyball, and did gymnastics. But, what I was most […]

Joy is The Goal of One’s Existence: Angela Amoroso
“This part of my life story began 4 years ago. I was working as a practice manager at a medical office, I had a home, and was supporting myself by working three jobs. I found New Hampshire Power Yoga, and it quickly became this really amazing place for me and for my life. When I […]

Find Joy in The Journey: Chris Watt
“When I was 10 years old I had cancer. I’m 36 now, so it seems like forever ago, but it still affects me. It was a harrowing experience, more so for family and friends than for myself, but there was still suffering. It was my first brush with death, and mortality is hard to process […]

Faith. Transcending Fear with Love: Steph Temple
“I was born in the Philippines and raised in Alaska. It wasn’t until I moved to New Hampshire – where I currently live, that I discovered yoga. During this time, I was training for a bodybuilding contest and was so focused on the physicalness and what I looked like. I got buried in a ton […]

Learn, Then Serve: Dave Dyer
“I’ve always struggled with depression and anxiety. I’ve treated both with medication on and off since my mid-30’s while also seeing a handful of therapists with minimal progress. As a registered nurse and someone who’s knowledgeable in psychology, I still don’t know why clinical treatments didn’t work for me. All I do know, is that […]

Manifest Your Own Change: Lauren Dyer
“I was born with spina bifida, and have had a walking disability my entire life. When I was younger, I was constantly having surgeries, but none of this stopped my parents from treating me like any other kid. I still had to do my own laundry and help around the house like my younger brothers. […]

Live in the Present. Time is Fleeting: Bret Pomeroy
“My mind wanders a lot. I’m always thinking about work – focusing on whatever happens there, and if not there, then in every other aspect of my life. I felt like here, in my first yoga class, I was finally in the moment. Yoga wasn’t something I would have typically tried in the past, but […]

Initiate Action. We Are Limitless: Christina Dussault
“I see myself as being limitless. I feel empowered to make moves in my life. Don’t get me wrong, I still definitely get that feeling of being stuck sometimes, but now I know there’s a reason for it. Feeling stuck; going through what I’ve gone through emotionally – it’s all led me to the place […]

Trust Your Intuition: Mary Williams
“My daughter got me into doing yoga 14 or 15 years ago. Before that, I never really trusted my intuition, and wasn’t confident in many aspects of my life. Those are a couple things that yoga helped a lot with: being more comfortable in my skin, and trusting my intuition. My husband noticed a change […]
