"Thank you for allowing me to be a client. I started to come to hot yoga in mid June and know that it helped me become a bit more calm during the storm in my life. I am 34 years old, mother of 2 young boys, and on July 18 was diagnosed with breast cancer. Coming to the sessions empowered me, relaxed me, and most of all helped me learn to breathe in a way that I never had. A few days before my bi lateral mastectomy surgery, after the last class of the night I bought one of your BREATHE necklaces. I saw it and knew what it was to be used for...
On August 11, 2011, I gave my husband of 10 years an envelope of instructions for when I woke up out of my surgery. A few of them were: give me a hug, tell me you love me, post on Facebook that I had just told my breast cancer to go f itself, and to place the BREATHE necklace around my neck and remind me to breathe. I haven't taken it off. Tonight is my first class back at hot yoga after on August 19 my surgeon told me that the cancer had not spread to my lymph nodes and gave me a clean bill of health.
I thank you for your service and for my necklace. Thank you again - thank you for breathe hot yoga. Thank you for your instructions and their guidance thru class. "try to find comfort in your discomfort" has helped me the past bit."
