She is a Yogini-a student of yoga. The most blessed thing we can do in yogai is to serve. She teaches people
about bleeding disorders, but by teaching, the teacher becomes the student. This girl has learned a lot about
herself by serving others. She has a decorated belly because the things she learne and the friends she made in
the bleeding disorders community helped her have the courage to face major surgery for an abdominal mass and
to come out stronger and more alive than ever before. Namaste- she has no face because she does not have a
bleeding disorder.
