Danni Pomplun Vroom Vroom Veer Stories
- Danni is excited about a yoga and mediation retreat he has coming up in January for New Year's in Baja California, Mexico at Todos Santos
- He grew up in and around the Echo Park area of East LA…it's kinda nice and hip now, but back that is was filled with gangs all day long
- Growing Danni's father was absent and his mother was an addict and a felon, in and out of prison; Danni was working on surviving his environment every day
- At age 16 and left home and started living on the street and doing what he had to do to survive; some days he sold drugs; other days he would steal to eat and stay warm
- How Danni's childhood trauma left him without the emotional tool set to deal said trauma; so no knowing how to process those feelings he numbed himself with alcohol and drugs
- He started working at bars and night clubs which only fed into the addiction and the numbing behavior
- Everyone is addicted to something and that just means we don't have a healthy way to process painful thoughts and emotions; we need normalize this so we can feel connection instead of isolation
- At age 25 a partner of his pasted away; he went on a rager into his addiction and trashed his apartment; his roommate at the time told him she could be around him anymore; this led to a suicide attempt
- His roommate suggested that he go to a yoga class; the community allowed him to have a space to talk about what was he was dealing with
- Going to yoga helped him drink less because he had something else in his life to commit to; it also helped him quit one of his bar jobs so he could move away from booze
- After he quit the bar job, he didn't have enough money to pay for yoga classes; so the studio allowed him to scrub toilet for free yoga
- The studio very gently nudged him to take a teacher training class just for free yoga; he resisted at first, but realized he need to accept their gift
