When the doctors told, me I would never walk again, I knew what I had to do. 

I knew that the only way how i could heal my hurt body, my negative mind and my sad and empty soul, was by practicing yoga. 

I began practicing every day. Even when my shattered ankle hurt so bad that I felt like I couldn't move, I stuck to it. I was patient and every day I took one more step to get closer to where I saw myself going. That destination was to be walking again. I was reaching it gradually. Each day I could walk a little bit more. 

This was amazing. Because after my serious and terrible accident as a passenger on motorcycle, my ankle was damaged so badly that the doctors wanted to amputate my foot. Their predictions were "if you will walk again then it will be with a cane for the rest of your life”. 

I walked for two years with crutches, I couldn't do any distance without a wheel-chair, I was dependent on the help of others. I had lot of pain, I was very sad, I felt like I had lost the most important thing of my life, my health, my liberty. 

In that time, I took a decision, "I am not buying this story, I am not going to spend the rest of my life as an invalid, I am going to fight every day as much as I can and I am getting better". 

The doctors were smiling when I told them, "I am going to walk again!". All of them just kept repeating that my bones and joints were destroyed and that there is no way to heal myself. They were looking at me as if they were parents looking at a child that is sharing with them a story, a fantasy. 

But I denied their judgment, and I kept going to my yoga classes. I kept studying deeply. perceiving my physical condition, my psyche behavior and my level of engagement.

I aligned my words with my actions. The teachers were looking at me with compassion, and they were supporting my willpower, even though they may have thought that it was difficult that I would ever recover my health. The other students were asking me, what I am doing there with my crutches?  I always stayed in the corners, in last lines, where I wasn't distracting others with my falling, and where they would not see me with my pain.  

Through this season, I touched the deepest and darkest places of my mind, my being, and my life. My accident wasn't just accident, it was a strong stopping point in my life. A pause to make me slow down, find my real priorities in different place beyond my superficial, outside world. It made me go to the silent place where all the wise voices speak. It made me live in the present moment and appreciate every sunrise and every sunset.  

In that time, I lived alone in Mexico City, very far away from my home country, Czech Republic. While there I finished my first teacher training, 200 RYT, Hatha Yoga, with Oscar Velazquez. 

My life situation pushed me to travel back to Czech Republic. I was still walking with my cane, but I noticed that each time I stepped on my yoga mat, all the limits disappeared, and hope filled my vision. Very deep inside me I knew I would get better.  By then I had met around twenty doctors, from different parts of the world, and all of them told me that they didn't have a solution.  

One day in Prague, I heard on TV an interview with a doctor and I knew immediately that he was my solution. I contacted him and I confirmed that I found the right person to help me move a little bit further forward. 

Under his care, I had the last of my six surgeries. Soon thereafter, and again back on my crutches, I traveled to Sivananda Ashram and I completed another certification, 200 RYT Sivananda Yoga. 

Then I knew that my mission in my life is to teach yoga. I started teaching after 10 years of personal practice. I teach in three languages, English, Spanish and Czech. I work with all types of bodies and all levels of practice.

Yoga showed me that everything is possible in life. It doesn't matter where you are, how you are and what you feel or think. All that matters is that you want to reach different way of perceiving yourself. A higher level of living your life. And when you are open to know yourself more, you only need to go deeper and choose your next form of living.
