Ep: 007 - Derek McKee is a windsurfer, yogi, web developer, and plant-based advocate. He also struggled with some serious sinus and back problems from a very young age. There were days in college that he couldn’t even get out of bed because of his excruciating back pain. From the suggestion of his sister, Derek sought to alleviate his suffering with yoga. Through his practice he saw profound benefits and decided to further his learning by enrolling in a yoga teacher training program. In that program he explored meditation and vegetarianism; he felt amazing, but wanted to deepen him practice. Derek took a leap of faith and moved to Maui. We chat about his transformation, meditation, Maui, juggling social life, health, and the struggles of finding balance.
