056: Cancer, Yoga, and the Power of Plant-Based Eating with Tabay Atkins


Listen Later

In the realm of compassionate living, Tabay Atkins stands out as a beacon of inspiration. At a young age, Tabay embarked on a journey deeply rooted in yoga, veganism, and a commitment to making a positive impact on the world. From his beginnings as a yoga enthusiast to becoming the youngest certified yoga teacher at the age of 10, Tabay's story is a testament to the transformative power of holistic living.

 

A Yoga Journey Ignited by Compassion

 

Tabay's connection to yoga took root at a pivotal moment in his life. His mother's battle with stage three non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma cancer became the catalyst for their exploration into alternative healing modalities. Introduced to yoga through a serendipitous encounter with a yoga teacher during his mother's recovery, Tabay witnessed firsthand the remarkable healing potential of this ancient practice.

 

From observing his mother's physical and emotional rejuvenation during a 200-hour Vinyasa yoga teacher training to his own certification at the age of 10, Tabay's commitment to yoga became a lifelong passion. Vinyasa, a flow-based yoga style, became his preferred method, emphasizing the synergy between breath and movement.

 

The Vegan Awakening

 

While yoga became a cornerstone of Tabay's life, his journey towards veganism unfolded in parallel. Initially motivated by health considerations, the decision to adopt a plant-based lifestyle took root after a screening of the documentary "What the Health." The film served as a catalyst, providing the education needed to solidify the shift towards veganism.

 

Tabay's transition to veganism wasn't just a personal choice but a mission to share the benefits of this lifestyle with others. Recognizing the interconnectedness of yoga and veganism, Tabay seamlessly integrated both into his teachings and lifestyle.
