Born and raised in Utah, Craig Terry is well-traveled and has lived in various places in the US. He recently retired from a successful career in sales and sales management, and now is an amputee peer mentor, a licensed certified life coach, and a motivational speaker. These things help him converse with, and understand people's needs from their different viewpoints.In October of 2020, Craig was riding his new Harley after trading in his old one of 15 years. A mile and a half from home he was hit broadside by someone not paying attention. He and his wife were both injured, but his injuries were more severe, resulting in his left leg being amputated below the knee. While in the hospital he decided he would be in charge of his life and the amputation wouldn't define him as a person. He set about rebuilding his life and his internal persona, strengthening his self-image. Yoga has helped him to do so. He's now a self-described "yoga addict" and loves how it helps keep him centered in his soul. Yoga, especially Accommodative Yoga taught by Abigail Atkinson has been his go to because it helps keep his hip joints, leg, and lower back open and loose, which helps deal with his day-to-day movements with his prosthetic leg.Follow Craig on Instagram: @craig_terrySupport the show
