Faced with a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma in 2009, Mary decided to complement the traditional Western treatment she was receiving with alternative treatments, a decision which would ultimately shape her life from that moment forward. Today, we are all so very privileged to listen in as she shares her inspirational tale of courage, commitment, and renewal.\r\n\nMary begins by recounting that challenging moment in her life, describing what her life was like at that time, and reviewing both the conventional and alternative treatments which she received. She goes on to describe the sense of renewal she felt upon becoming cancer-free, how it changed her life, her journey to become a Yoga Teacher, and what enabled her to continue moving forward and find her new direction in life. Mary draws the episode to a close by sharing how she navigates the more competitive and youth/beauty focused aspects of the Yoga world, details of her Yoga and trauma work, and one book which she feels describes her life. As Yuliana notes, this is a podcast that celebrates inspirational people who have faced their challenges in life and found renewal, and, as you will hear, Mary Cerdeiras definitely qualifies as a ranking member of that noble assemblage.\r\n\nEpisode Highlights:\r\n\n\n The challenging moment that reshaped the course of Mary\u2019s life\r\n\n\r\n\n What her life was like when the challenge arose in her life\r\n\n\r\n\n The alternative treatments she used to complement the traditional Western treatments she was receiving for her cancer\r\n\n\r\n\n The sense of renewal she felt in becoming cancer-free and how it changed her life\r\n\n\r\n\n Teaching yoga\r\n\n\r\n\n What enabled Mary to move forward and find a new direction in life\r\n\n\r\n\n How Mary navigates the terrain of entering such a competitive and youth and body focused field as Yoga\r\n\n\r\n\n Her Yoga and trauma work\r\n\n\r\n\n One book that describes Mary\u2019s life\r\n\n\r\n\n\nQuotes:\r\n\n\u201cBack in 2009. I was diagnosed with cancer and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma...that definitely woke me up to crazy reality, and it changed the trajectory of my life.\u201d\r\n\n\u201cI always wanted to do things holistically.\u201d\r\n\n\u201cThat's always been my life - staying away from toxins and stuff like that.\u201d\r\n\n\u201cWhy don't you do the chemo and also do the organic dieting and whatever you're doing?\u201d\r\n\n\u201cThe Yoga helped me so much - the stretching and the breathing.\u201d\r\n\n\u201cBut something inside of me said, \u2018This is not it...you've got too much to do, you're not done, yet, on this earth.\u201d\r\n\n\u201cI took charge of my own wellbeing.\u201d\r\n\n\u201cYou make it sound so seamless, and I'm sure it wasn't as you were living it.\u201d\r\n\n\u201cI also had two parents that never said I couldn't do anything.\u201d\r\n\n\u201cTrauma has been something that I've been studying for years through different teachers.\u201d\r\n\n\u201cI've been on the other side, so I know how that person feels.\u201d\r\n\nLinks:\r\n\nhttps://www.yulianakimgrant.com/phoenix-tales (Phoenix Tales on Instagram)\r\n\nhttps://open.spotify.com/show/1heIpPMsG6HbXXIDLmAnEe (Phoenix Tales on Spotify)\r\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=322043276201679 (Phoenix Tales on Facebook)\r\n\nhttps://marycerdeiras.com/ (Mary's Homepage)\r\n\nhttps://warriorflow.vhx.tv/mary-cerdeiras (Mary on Warrior Flow TV)\r\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/marycerdeiras/ (Mary's Instagram Page)\r\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/mary.cerdeiras/ (Mary's Facebook Page)\r\n\nhttps://seanecorn.com/book/ (Revolution of the Soul)\r\n\n\r\n\r\n\n\n--- \n\nSend in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yuliana-kim-grant/message","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/d885451f-79b4-4b76-89e0-c1c74b252f01/12951280-1625748878674-aa5fe876124fb.jpg"}
