We are so grateful to all our friends who have been sharing their Warrior Poses, includingthe one above from Tommy Rosen who is a great warrior of recovery and a leader in the field of Yoga applications to heal, and many from around the world, a few of which I've included below.
The stories we hear every day of individuals healing from Yoga, overcoming grave circumstances, claiming their true power, finding their authentic self, cultivating their unique creative expression, learning to love against all odds, finding happiness where there was only darkness, this is what lights us up, keeps us strong. This is really what are sharing with this 7-day #mywarriorpose challenge.
You have this power - and by posting your photos in Warrior Pose, you let the world know they each have this power, too. So thank you!
If you haven't joined us yet, it is simple! Here is how it works:

A number of people are asking me a version of this question, "What can we really do for Bhava for his birthday?"
Since he wants and needs little, if you want to get him something, truly the best thing I can think of is buy his book tomorrow on his actual birthday.
A colleague just wrote, "I would love to order a copy of his book to extend myself in some small way to support his journey and the gift he has brought to the world in writing his experience for others to learn from and share in."
This would mean a lot to us, because it signals that the message is important and the word is getting out. So, if you haven't bought the book yet, please do. If you have already, then share it. Get one for a friend, or all your friends. Do it tomorrow. Say Happy Birthday with Warrior Pose.
Thank you! I am so profoundly grateful!

I have to say "my warrior pose" is much more than a single pose. To me, it's in the way I carry myself each and every day. It's the strength to go where I want to go, not only physically, but also mentally.
Through Yoga I have met so many wonderful people and learned so many wonderful things... I pay it forward as often as I can! Namaste. ~ Mariah, 18 year old artist, student, sevak
