I've been a vegan for 13 years, and I ride my bicycle everywhere. Bring your problems to yoga. I brought my scoliosis, spina bifida, desk-job atrophy, and lack of humility. Yoga will transform you if you stick with it!
 
I was an advertising copywriter for 20 years. To train as a yoga teacher, I wrote a 30-page script (including the best lines from my favorite teachers). I read it aloud and edited it again and again. Certification is nice, but practice!
