One of our students reached out with our problematic housing situation. He is repulsed by his roommate. With a history of physical violence, he’s afraid of what he might do. 
I suggested he attend class. With a healthy body and a clear mind, his emotions calmed down. Choosing yoga practice gave him a chance to see that he is free to choose again: different living situation, roommate, hours at work, extra job, whatever it takes to live peacefully. 
What empowers you to choose again? With calm emotions, a clear mind and healthy body what choice is preferable? Ki to Happiness chooses yoga practice again and again.,
