This week on Healthy Living with Yoga Anita , I sit down with Marya Fonsh Mielinski , a dedicated teacher at Priest Street School in Leominster, who shares her powerful journey after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Marya opens up about: 💬 The early signs—extreme fatigue, brain fog, and pain 💬 Facing her biggest fear: falling 💬 How MS affects the body’s myelin 💬 Finding strength through community After not feeling ready her first year, Marya came back stronger—raising $10,000 in 2025 and already $12,000 this year for the Walk MS Worcester 🙌 She’ll even be honored before the walk on May 2, 2026 —a true testament to resilience, courage, and community support (including a generous boost from Susan’s Nails 💅).
