When things go wrong and we reach rock bottom, we have a choice: to stay in the depths of despair, or to stop, take stock and turn our lives around. These dark moments are our Turning Points. And it is at these moments that we need the support of others.
This November, one of Monterey, California’s most loved yoginis and women’s wellness specialists, Ana Poirier (www.yogabodynutrition.com), is a featured author in a new book called Turning Points (Summertime Publishing). A compilation of inspiring stories from 25 female entrepreneurs telling of their life turning points, Poirier’s contribution is a dramatic and inspiring tale of how her yoga practice became the rubber to hit the road when facing a mind-bending and heart breaking foreclosure of her Monterey Peninsula home.
Poirier’s contribution to Turning Points is one of the ways she gives back to her clients all over the world. She teaches that the yogic point of view is a practical spiritual practice to be applied to everyday living.
“Most think of yoga as an exercise,” said the book contributor, Ana Poirier, “but this story shows how the practice prepares one for the most trying and vile of human experiences, in my case, facing the process of foreclosure in this tough economy. Spiritual practice is not about seeking to attain a lithe body or even a detached Buddha nature, but using the wisdom to react with grace to the rawness that life can offer. Losing my dream home at first seemed like the end of the world, but in the end was a blessing so I could really see how all I’d studied for so long actually was put to work.”
