A teetotal yoga enthusiast has told how taking up the ancient practice helped her to overcome suicidal thoughts after the breakdown of several relationships.
Miriam Rees, from London, developed an interest in yoga following the breakdown of her marriage after just six months.
The 35-year-old, who spent years battling depression and considering taking her own life revealed that concerns over how her family would cope prevented her from going through with the act.
'Yoga is the most beautiful healing I have ever experienced,' she told MailOnline.
'The best part about yoga and the angels who teach it is that you only have to step through the door and the rest is taken care of. The only thing you need in order to do yoga is to breathe and we can all do that.'

Miriam, pictured, revealed she turned to relationships because she struggled to find safety and security within herself - which resulted in the breakdown of her marriage
Speaking about her family background, she added: 'My father's side of the family are Muslim but as I didn't grow up with them I had no idea about the religion. I am now an atheist. I am very spiritual and believe in a higher power.
'I spent half of my life in three relationships because I was searching for safety and security and found it in someone else. Little did I know that I had everything I need within me.'
Miriam added: 'I've had boyfriends from the age of 13, my first boyfriend I was with for three years. I then met my second boyfriend aged 16 and we were together until I was 22.
'I met my ex husband, the kindest man in the world, aged 23. We were together for eight and a half years and I ended the relationship a year and a half after we got married.
'It was around six months after our wedding that it dawned on me that I had been following a script that society had laid out for me. I was with a very kind, lovely man but I wasn't living the life meant for me.'
Miriam, pictured, at one point considered taking her own life on two different occasions because of the guilt she experienced from ending romantic relationships

After Miriam's marriage breakdown she felt like she had 'died inside', saying: 'I hated myself and wanted to punish myself for ruining someone else's life. Feeling so helpless and worthless is the worst feeling in the world. I felt like there was no way out of the severe depression I was in.
Miriam, who has recently begun working as a positivity coach, was advised by a friend in the gym to attend a retreat, visited a £1,500 retreat in Ibiza which sparked her interest in yoga after going through a phase of partying continuously.
'I partied every weekend for two years and now I rarely drink alcohol and definitely don't touch anything else. It was the typical searching for something and I found that in partying.
'I felt good for a night or two and then I felt terrible but it would start again in a few days so I'd get through the bad days. I lived on my own and had no real control over my partying ways.
Miriam who also works as a positivity coach began to spend every weekend partying and indulging in alcohol to escape from her negative emotions. She no longer drinks
Miriam (pictured) was inspired to experiment with yoga and spirituality after a £1500 retreat in Ibiza which transformed her mindset
'A friend in my gym could see I needed some help and to seek some form of comfort so she suggested I look into yoga retreats. I then researched retreats in Ibiza as I love the island.'
Miriam added: 'I spent five nights staying in a stunning luxury villa, eating fresh vegan food and being taught yoga twice a day. We took part in meditations, therapies, horse riding and ended on a beach in Ibiza dancing to the sunset.
'It was surprising how quickly I began to change in Ibiza, after a day or two I could feel myself starting to heal, I also started to become more self aware, and knew I needed to turn inwards to be able to deal with the past and the programming I had gathered throughout the years.
Miriam (pictured) launched online community Vibrational Jungle, with her best friend Valencia to reach out to women who want to learn more about spirituality
The 35-year-old hopes their project will be able to motivate women and help them to see spirituality as something 'cool', Miriam is also beginning work on her own Women’s Empowerment project
'After two years of intense inner work, I was guided to move to London to start my business with my best friend. I knew London was the right environment for me to carry out my dreams.'
She continued: 'I spent my whole life trying to fit into a world in Wales where I didn't fit, I tried to live a life where I was married, in my lovely home, planning children, going on holidays but at that time those things were not meant for me.
'I believe society expects women to fit into a box when the reality is we've been creating them for years'

The 35-year-old,...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
