Anonymous(WARRIOR Instructor) This mat saved me today. I’ve been struggling with with my motivation, mood, hormones. I keep coming back to this mat praying it will bring me back to where i was. Today something different happened. As I looked down between my hands as I was holding plank, I broke down in tears as the word WARRIOR jumped out at me and told me who I AM. You just never know what your students are going through and what they actually bring to the mat. There are so many instructors that have nursed me through heartbreak, stress, the loss of my father without even knowing they’ve had a role in my healing.  You are so important to so many. Please don’t ever underestimate that. Today I am grateful for this beautiful format and for this community.
