What Saved My Sanity from the Stresses of Autism Was Yoga

Every parent who has a child with the diagnosis of autism endures hair raising temper tantrums and long sleepless night’s these are daily occurrences for most of us. Feelings of isolation and depression are the norm, and stress is 24/7. I want to share with you what saved my sanity.
Yoga, yes you heard me right the practice of yoga.
I know what you’re thinking, I have no time or you cannot get a babysitter because I said that too! However, there came one point where I knew from the pit of my soul that I must make the time to save my own sanity.
My neighbor Cashmere was born and raised in India, she invited me to attend a yoga class at a place she called Yog Sadhan Ashram. It sounded strange but I followed my intuition that led me to attend on that particular day. Eight years have since passed, and I’m still an active member of yoga, and I haven’t looked back since.

The practice of this ancient art of yoga changed my life, opened up my heart and calmed my soul.
Having a calm clear mind made all the difference in the world, I was a functioning human being that was capable of making sound decisions for me, my family, and for my child with autism.
