Nicholas Carey (aka the Veteran Yogi or Nicky Namaste) is a motorbike riding, philosophical yogi veteran. He has served in the United States Marine Corps Infantry serving 5 years and 3 tours. This left him with emotional, physical, and other mental injuries that it wasn’t until later that he realized had such a powerful effect on the trajectory of his life. Nothing was giving him the relief he was looking for until he unwillingly gave into giving yoga a try. This is Nicky’s Life as a Secret Yogi.
