Matan didn't grow up like most of us here in the United States. A native of Israel, he found his way in life one journey at time. First in the Israeli Defense Forces, then as a traveler, and eventually landed on Wall Street as a banker. After getting married, having a child, living the American dream, something wasn't right.
Then the yoga caught up with him. Two hours a day on the mat plus time on the cushion led to a realization that he needed to share his practice.
Matan teaches yoga as a form of therapy and reminds us that the practice never ends.

This is the woman who goes to a Spanish language class to "meet dudes" and instead meets a female Buddhist monk. Isn't that great karma? Set your intention and life gives you something different that you needed more than what you thought you need.
Erica Barth has mastered balance in life, but not just in the poses. Her practice flows off her mat and into the world because she somehow manages to run a yoga studio, teach yoga, and not lose her mind in the process.
Once a professional corporate warrior, she's traded in the powerpoint presentations for yoga pants and the uncertain income of a yoga studio owner. She credits yoga as the best therapy because during her yoga teacher training, Erica lost her mother forever. 
The result should be a dour, negative person. Not so. The practice carries Erica through life into a life well lived. Well, look at her smile and you tell me. It's not about Erica, it's about the people she inspires.
It's just another NAMASday on Find Your Immersion.

Some say yoga is your natural state. No matter how you describe it, yoga takes you places as you immerse yourself in the practice.  Find Your Immersion explores the hopes, fears, and motivations behind those of us on the path to creating a better life for ourselves.  That path leads through darkest places in the mind, the deepest of laughs during an Om, up, down and everywhere in between. Yoga may be our muse, but it's just the practice of life.  FYI is for people who share their yoga practice, for anyone trying to find a special kind of freedom from drudgery of everyday life.  Bottom line: #yogaeverydamnday
