Jabari, a former gold medallist in amateur boxing, was diagnosed with a degenerative lung condition in 1989. After being committed to holistic health for over 23 years, he was not content to place his health into the hands of a doctor. Instead, he sought out complementary techniques to aid in his healing. Jabari took his first Ashtanga Yoga class in 1998, and it wasn't long until he realized that his yoga practice was helping him to increase his lung efficiency and respiratory stamina. Jabari now lives and breathes a yogic lifestyle. He is inspiring proof of how you can take responsibility for your own health and life and achieve integration of mind, body and spirit.
