About the Author
Carrie Schell has dedicated her life’s work to health and wellness. She is an author, licensed midwife, RYT and holds post-graduate degrees. She is the founder of Wellness Inc. consulting, developing and implementing wellness programs rooted in yoga, meditation and physical activity. Carrie believes in a mind-body-spirit approach to wellness and recovery as evidenced in both her personal and professional life, seeking to reconnect others to the Divine source of love in the Universe.
Dedication
I would like to dedicate this work to my brother, Patrick John McGroarty, Pat. Through Pat’s journey in life, I developed an understanding that the roots of addiction and alcoholism come from disease from within one’s self and from mental illness, and mental un-wellness. It is never a life-style choice. There is no room for tough love. There is only room for love, compassion, understanding, and guidance.

Yoga Recovery
This book represents a culmination of years of thought, prayer, hard work, and determination. I wasn’t clear how I should begin the book. In fact, there have been many variations; written and discarded. Inspiration finally came to me watching one of my teachers, Gabrielle Bernstein, during one of her Master Classes. In that moment, what to write became clear; to tell my authentic story, share with you what has called me to this moment, and share the intention of Mind Body Spirit.
Initially, I started off thinking I would share my story of growing-up in what I thought was a perfect family and how it all fell apart in the late 1970s with two tragedies that ended my fairy tale upbringing: my dad left our family and my aunt and five cousins died when their home caught on fire. This was the beginning of my life involving alcoholism and addiction. The twists and turns my life has taken are incredible. My head even spins thinking about it. Even though my story would make an incredibly juicy read, was that truly what I felt I needed to share? Sure, it would be entertaining and a page-turner, but was that my intention?
And, then, finally, on the morning of April 8 th , listening to the teachings of Gabrielle Bernstein, I finally understood the real value in my story comes from my intention.
What is it that I truly feel moved to share? What is it that I would like to offer you? Through meditation and prayer, it became clear that my intention is to bring light to others so that they, so that you, may see and know the love and light within them. My intention for you is to know happiness and joy.
So, where is the real beginning?

Here Goes…
I believe I was called to serve early in my life. There has always been a voice calling me to God. I believe God is love. God is universal. God is everywhere and within everyone. God is the beauty in a sunset, the smile of stranger, and the love that exits.
The call, if you will, has manifested itself in my life at many times and in many ways.
When I say “serve”, I mean be a voice of love. Be a light to others. Be a miracle worker. The wonderful text “Course in Miracles” describes a miracle as bringing love to others. This is what I mean by intention, when I speak about being called to serve.
There has always been a strong voice calling me to this. I know so many of us, most of us, are afraid to speak of such things. We worry people will think we’ve lost it, or they’ll make assumptions about who we are, how we think, and live our lives. There are those who attribute close mindedness or a lack of enlightenment with those who speak of their spiritual life. To speak of God and love, and our spiritual life is foreign to us. For me, it is simple; God is Love! God is universal. God is everywhere and within everyone. That divine love is in us all, not just the chosen few. Isn’t that an amazing gift? Love is everywhere and within everyone. I am no longer afraid to own my love for love! It is a gift I treasure. I hope with time you will allow yourself the opportunity to explore and own your spiritual pathway. As the wonderful teacher, Tommy Rosen, puts it, “Your spiritual path is the pathway to move and hear from the callings of your own heart.”

In the Beginning…
I grew up in a Catholic family, going to church every Sunday and of course, dressed to perfection on the big days, Christmas and Easter. My family has a long and prominent history in the Catholic Church in Toronto, where I grew up. My family is huge, stereotypically, Catholic huge. My dad came from a family of 11 kids, I know, crazy! My mom has one brother and two sisters. Each of my mom’s sisters had 11 kids and my uncle adopted seven. I’m not kidding! So, when I say my family is big, I mean it.
Our extended family was always very close when I grew up. Family played a huge role in shaping me. We always got together on holidays, weekends, Church on Sunday followed by breakfast and Saturday night, burgers at Nana and Papa’s. But here’s the funny thing. Even though I went to Catholic schools all of my life and went to Church, there was no talk of God, of God’s love, or any sort of spiritual life in our home. Thinking back on it, Church was somewhere you went and followed rituals, but it had no impact on our day to day life. It was ritualistic and academic rather than spiritual and inspiring.
Being Catholic played a significant role in my life, but it had zero impact on my heart or spiritual life. Being Catholic was something you did by going to Church, celebrating First Communion, Confirmation, and of course, First Confession. Who can forget that? That kind of sums up my religious life growing up. Catholicism was part of my life, but it was a series of rituals and a source of confusion. I always lo
