At 13, Matthew Sanford was in a terrible car accident that took the lives of his father and sister, and left him paralyzed from the chest down.
Evolving through his journey, Matthew learned to leave the spite behind and form a new relationship with his body through yoga. His practice allowed him to learn to feel the lower parts of his body again, even if he couldn't move them, and become more attuned to his mind-body relationship.
Now Matthew is the founder of Mind Body Solutions, a nonprofit dedicated to helping others reconnect with their bodies in meaningful ways. He’s also a motivational speaker, sharing his story with honesty and heart to inspire others navigating their own challenges.
What an inspiration!
