We all know what the moon does to the ocean in the form of tides. Well, we are about 85% salt water; don't you think it is also affecting you? Maybe you cannot quantify that effect along with zillions of other effects, but certainly you are being affected.

Yoga doesn't ask you to be more than you are. But it does ask you to be all that you are.

Without challenges we would literally wither and die (which also would be perfect).

As a matter of fact, wherever I get to is a direct result of where I'm at now which makes where I'm at now equally important.

Your physical capabilities have nothing to do with higher consciousness. The depth achieved in any posture only has the ability to hurt or help your body.

Being empowered includes developing the powerful qualities that lead human beings to cultivate wellness and healing. And those are the same qualities that enhance all relationships on earth and reduce stress (which seems to be the largest precursor to disease)-gentle ness, calmness, patience, humility, compassion, and gratitude.

Most of us can agree there is nothing more special, mysterious, mystical, powerful and important than life!
