Loredana Laurie Meilbeck is a registered yoga instructor. She has the amazing strength and courage to turn her near life-ending tragedy into something good for others, especially men and Marines wounded in the wars abroad. B. Laurie had her world changed forever in the form of an oversized SUV crushing her tiny Ford Escort at 65 miles an hour. Common and unfortunate enough perhaps, but it is the human spirit growing beyond this tragedy that makes for this story. Refusing to allow her spirit nor her body to become dominated by this tragedy, Laurie used yoga to maintain the positive spirit required to persevere through a rehabilitation ( 康复 ) process, to rise above an otherwise crippled life, and to bring health to others with her experience and strength. C. Laurie's life prior to the accident had been that of an outdoor southern California girl: weekends at the ocean swimming and tanning, in the mountains hiking and skiing, with an abundance of outdoor life, free and mobile. She was an accomplished figure skater, a model, a student of natural sciences and a mother of two active kids. D. After sustaining the numerous life-threatening injuries to her skull, back bone, internal organs and limbs, Laurie had to literally learn to read, talk and walk all over again. During days spent studying flashcards in English to hours of physical therapy, enduring several reconstructive surgeries and a great number of medications, she often heard from doctors of the limitations that her life would have: "may never walk again", "would live with brain damage", "only have a limited capacity to work", etc. E. As these dark prospects troubled her, she quietly began recalling her yoga training, and was aided in the simplest poses by a friend. She began to cling to the belief that yoga practice would pull her from the dismal future. Working slowly, she was able to increase her capability to accomplish more physically while clearing her mind and intensifying her positive focus with meditations and breathing. F. After three months, she was released from the hospital. Still suffering many challenges such as severe headaches and back pain, she had great difficulty living on her own and needed much help from family. She continued her yoga practice every day. She felt that the pain and suffering clouded her ability to think and masked her emotions. G. As the years went on Laurie kept yoga as her daily practice, continued raising her children, and eventually went back to work. With diligence and hard work, her life began to take on a resemblance of her better days. Feeding on her love for yoga, Laurie eventually decided to make yoga her profession. H. Upon becoming an instructor, Laurie taught at several local yoga studios and gyms, while continuing with additional training, and opened her small private yoga studio. One of the opportunities she had was to teach regular classes at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. In attendance at these classes were mostly Marine wives who coaxed ( 劝诱 ) their husbands to join them at a yoga class, and another class was for the wounded warriors returning from wars. The participants included young, muscular Marines who had been in the Iraq War and fierce athletes. I. While many seemed reluctant or skeptical at first, Laurie experienced the transition as the yoga class became more important and valuable to the men who attended. Laurie noticed a marked improvement in the men who participated in her classes. Many began returning, first at the door for class and eager to begin, talking about which poses they liked, the disappearance of stiffness and pain, improvement of their golf game, etc. As a patient yet challenging instructor, Laurie was respected. The outspoken satisfaction and enjoyment verbalized ( 用言辞描述 ) by these men was enough for Laurie to realize what was needed: a yoga class just for men. J. Laurie realized if yoga classes could be so well-received, she could carry the message to even greater numbers, and help men and women to enjoy yoga all together. During this process, Laurie had a revelation that her tragic experience could actually become one of the greatest moments of her life, and that yoga was the key. As a "Marine Mom" herself, she knew the sacrifices that the young men and women made for the country. As a back-injured patient, she knew the challenges of recovery. She knew the social obstacles for men to enjoying yoga, and as a compassionate soul, she knew that to truly enjoy life she needed to give to others. She vowed to turn her challenges into a platform for greatness in her life. K. With enthusiasm, Laurie embarked on a mission to create a yoga class which could attain all of these goals. She set out to establish a tone and style that would be appealing to men. This included the setting in the room, a basic pose routine, less focus on meditation, yet a maintained focus on breathing and physical movement with a contemporary music selection. Laurie's yoga class was titled "Men's Back Health Through Yoga", covering the entire spectrum of requirements for posture, stretching, strength building and spine-aligning ( 脊椎矫正 ) poses. L. Laurie introduced her class to the local adult education program and produced it in high quality on DVD. Making a debut in February, the class was sold out—filled to capacity with 20 men from various walks of life who attended for a multitude of reasons: older men who had lost flexibility, golfers and personal trainers looking for more flexibility, and those with back injuries or surgery pending. The feedback was impressive, the satisfaction with the class very high. Several men returned the following semester, along with several newcomers. Laurie has begun teaching the class in her private studio, and endeavors to take the class into ever widening circles of people at every opportunity. Her DVD has been well received by men and women and is sold nationwide through online and retail distribution venues. M. Remaining true to her spirit of gratitude and service, Laurie donates a significant portion of her proceeds to the wounded Marines. She became a benefactor ( 捐助者 ) for the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund (IMSFF), an organization whose function is to provide financial assistance to injured Marines, service members and their families during their difficult road to recovery. She continues to work to support the IMSFF in various ways. N. Today Laurie enjoys a very healthy lifestyle, and teaches yoga at her private studio in California.
