Living in a home with drug and alcohol abuse and being the youngest in a family of 5, John suffered from anxiety and depression leaving him lacking in self confidence. In 2014, after loosing two brothers within 12 months of each other due to drugs and alcohol, John hit a pinnacle moment in his life where things could have potentially fallen completely downhill. Around this time John found yoga and was able to make the decision that opened the door to reinvent himself. In 2017, at the young age of 37, with a family and teenage daughter, John decided to head back to school completing a 4 year bachelors degree. Through this time John continued to work full-time and also completed his yoga teacher training. 

In this episode we talk about how yoga helped John through this challenging time in his life and how it helped him re-establish his self confidence, how important in-person classes are to your yoga practice and how cool it is being a 6'5" Super Sized Yogi in a head stand.
