Nestor, age 17 - San Mateo Hillcrest Juvenile Hall
When I first got into yoga I thought I was in a class where homosexuals just stretch. The class was interesting because we were receiving points. I decided to make the best out of it. As I did that, I started to see the outcome of the class. Which was, I felt at peace with who I was. It helped me understand everyone has their own purpose in life. Out of all the things I received from yoga, I have to say the most rewarding was a virtue I never had, “patience”. With patience I can focus on what I’m doing and why. Without patience I would continue being caught up in the fast-paced world we live in.
Fast money. Fast women. Fast death.
