I am soooo glad I didn't listen.

What an amazing and inspirational story! Congratulations on being assertive enough to go ahead and try it despite what your doctors said!
The reason my yoga teacher originally started yoga years ago was that she was suffering from depression, an eating disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome. In her case too, Western medicine had no solutions, so she decided to try yoga. It changed her life in a GOOD way!
