"My story starts in Jail"

Meet @dannydholmes sharing his #yogasavedmylife story with us. These are his words šŸ’š . . "My journey of yoga and my path as a Sādhaka started in a place called jail nearly 4 years ago... Yes a crazy place and situation to be in, but that’s the truth of when the realisation started and the journey began. • Involved in gang culture and crimes I don’t really want to mention on here (you get the drift) and stuff I will take to the grave or next life with me! (But trust me I’ve been eradicating these bad karmas with all of my heart) it had moments of me thinking ā€œyeah this is the life I’ll always leadā€. Prior to this 6 years ago after the passing of my grandma that’s when I really woke up and started to see the differences of my reality. It’s not easy to just get up and leave something you’ve done since 14-15 years of age. • So as the story goes on I ended up in Walton HMP Liverpool on charges of section 20 x2 and afray x2, were prosecutors started at a level before section 18 which is in our country basically is gang violence on another gang that happened to run a strip club. • My yoga journey started inside locked up were I took yoga and mindfulness classes and read all the books from the library I could get my hands on. When speaking with the monk who ran the classes he said to me he saw one of 2 visions for me: either gang leader or spiritual teacher... I guess he was right. • After quitting gang life on release I took 4 yoga classes a week plus self practice, got a regular job and in January 2019 passed my RYT in India, and I’ve not been back to England since, as I get jobs teaching yoga around the world now, and have plans to set a yoga studio in the mediterranean . So yes yoga saves lives & gives eternal positivity and spiritual awareness. I love my life & I love the universe for giving me this opportunity . Like they say.... The universe delivers when the person is ready. Om Namah shivaya šŸ•‰
