Fifty years ago the word “Byzantine” was used as a synonym for all that was corrupt and decadent, and the tale of the East-Roman Empire was dismissed by modern historians as depressing and monotonous. The great Gibbon had branded the successors of Justinian and Heraclius as a series of vicious weaklings, and for several generations no one dared to contradict him.

Before I reclaimed and rebuilt my life through yoga, wellness and fitness, I was prediabetic, weighed 230 pounds, my lungs were failing, I was suicidal and I was addicted to everything—food, sex, drugs, alcohol.
