At twenty-one, Ceilidh Michelle was homeless, drifting through countercultural communities along California's coast, from Venice Beach to Slab City to Big Sur. This restless and turbulent time began when she was sleeping on her sister's couch in Vancouver and decided to become a yoga disciple in California.
