Becoming Annie I began practicing yoga when my son Patch was in 4 th grade.  He has a bit of a hyperactive personality and was having trouble falling asleep at night. On the exercise channel on cable, I found a Sunset Salutation yoga video by Sara Ivanhoe.  We began doing it a few times a week at night before bed and it really made a difference.  He was calmer and could drop right off to sleep afterwards. I fell in love with Yoga. I began practicing every morning. For the first time in my married life, I took time for just me. This was so empowering. I felt centered. I joined the Y and my daughter Megi and I took a class once a week.  We even went on a Mother/Daughter retreat to an ashram downstate for a weekend back in 2010. I had a new goal, I wanted to become a certified yoga teacher. Just a few months later, I was bit by a tick while walking my dogs. I contracted Lyme Disease.  For numerous reasons, it went undetected for 8 months. Needless to say, I ended up very very sick
