The year was 1989, I was one year into doing full time volunteer work, offering my work as a ‘self-less’ service to a yoga organization. Having grown up in New Jersey, I had finished living and working in an Indian ashram (a monastery of sorts), been on tour with the group as it traveled and was now living and working in the national headquarters in upstate New York.
