There's No Place like Home Diane Desrochers, 49, started Kundalini Yoga during a tumultuous time in her life. As a newly single mother, she was looking to heal and to forgive. "I was caught up in elements of separation and anxiety and much self-questioning," she says. "I needed some guidance, and a way to release the tensions. And I found that the more I practiced Kundalini Yoga, the more I felt the tension in my body release." At times she would sob at the end of a class. "I clued in and said, 'Oh, okay'," she says. "I accepted it and considered it as part of my healing. Sometimes I would lie down on my mat with my eyes just soaked in tears. But it was all part of the process." Kundalini Yoga has now become a lifestyle for Diane, who practices yoga everyday. "It's become a part of who I am," she says. "Kundalini Yoga gave me the tools that I use to deal with the events of my life. It gave me a set of glasses in order to see life differently," she says. "It brought me calm, and a non-judgemental perspective." Although she had participated in different artistic and sports activities, she would always lose interest in them over time. Not so with yoga. "I like the spiritual aspect to Kundalini Yoga, and that it's just not the physical," she says. "Kundalini Yoga added a different perspective, by not just concentrating on one part of my being, but on the whole being, the entire being. I needed the spiritual to link all the parts together." Now remarried, Diane works for a Senator on Parliamentary policy and health issues. She also works as a volunteer working with people with development disabilities, and also offers private consulting as a nutritionist. She concludes: "The discovery and practice of Kundalini Yoga has opened me to receive so much in my life—calmness, strength, love, forgiveness, and more! To sum it up… I have come home."
