At first I was diagnosed with transverse myelitis, then 15 months later relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. The waiting game was an exercise in patience and yoga was my foundation for acceptance.

Being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis can take a long time because doctors need to go through a process of elimination. Yoga helped me deal with that process every step of the way.

When strange symptoms started to arise while wearing high heels and practicing yoga, I knew I had to stop ignoring the signs.
