Jo found herself collapsed into frustration on the floor after life had slapped her in the face. Searching for help, she reached down inside, hoping to find something...something to lift her spirts, or even to lift herself up off the floor. She had abandoned spiritual searches as a teenager. Desperate for answers, she was now willing to renew her quest with a wider scope and an open- mind. After moving to a rural area of California, she found an opportunity to explore her passion for yoga. With guidance from her yoga teacher and inspiration from Ganesh, an elephant-headed deity, she was able to confront adversities. What she discovers continues to resonate within her, allowing her more steadiness and ease on each step of her journey. This is a story for yoga practitioners at all levels and anyone on a journey to the self.
