Is disease hereditary?  Are we going to have heart disease, or cancer just because it runs in our family?  Are we going to be overweight, just because our parents may have had issues with weight?  Are we just automatically sentenced to a predisposed state of well being with no control over it?

How does a guy from New Jersey, living the corporate life, leave his successful career and have the desire to find a more meaningful purpose in his life?  What empowered him to leave the comforts that his well paying job and lifestyle to become a student of personal development techniques? 

Michael Kohan joins the show to share this journey with us.   In 1998, while at Rutgers, he took his first yoga class. While this formed a strong impression, his serious pursuit of the practice did not begin until a few years later. He became enchanted by the beautiful practice of asana yoga and noticed how yogic discipline and philosophy helped him live a more peaceful life.
