I've never found myself crying at a ted talk but this story is just so powerful. Very inspiring and touching!

[sharondownie]

Thank you Mike. I'm beginning yoga at 72. Pure inspiration.

Very inspiration lecture... I think- nothing happens without chance, of course I've watched this not without a reason! Good luck man, Good Luck every one!

[DrJosephKim]

Very powerful words from Mike Fecht thank you. I've been a fan of his Yoga for Big Men for a while and this is good to see his healing and his desire to help others.

Wonderful presentation. Some years ago I began a yoga practice that changed me and my life for the better. Unfortunately, I channeled all the good into my job, sacrificed myself, and as a natural result my world began to crumble. I am back practicing yoga, meditating, being open to possibilities and everything is once again falling into place and looking up. This time around I will not waste the gifts or my life. Thank you for sharing!

I had the opportunity of taking yoga classes from Mike in Atlanta in 2012, undoubtedly the hardest year in my life. Mike, thank you for helping me along on my path.

Listening to your journey brought me to tears, thank you for sharing. My wife and I recently found a baby turtle (actually a tortoise) in our yard. It was upside-down fighting for it's life while a roadrunner was picking it apart. Somehow he survived and he is now part of our family. We love him dearly. The symbolic nature of the turtle coming into our lifes truly resonates as well. Life's an amazing journey - be well my friend! Todd/Karen (Palm Springs CA)

Just go with the flow..it 'll take you where you have to be.

Wow, great speach. And he must be such a wonderful father and rolemodel. People coming to him in grief are very lucky to find him. If only we all would take a step back, start meditating and let go of our egos, .... What a paradise this world would be.

MIKE, I WAS JUST DRAWN TO THIS TALK. I THANK YOU KINDLY FOR THAT. I am teaching mindfulness and wellbeing using Yoga and Dance and it’s amazing what impact The Yolab is having. I’m inspired as I teach the need to “pay attention to Whispers” in my sessions of yoga. Bless you for the generosity of sharing. Radhakrishnan
