Yoga teaching is that you're not your dark side or your woo-woo, you're pure awareness. Our job is to begin to gain that discrimination and insight so we can separate from our identification.

I'm here, and I know that it's finite; I know that I'm not going to always be here.

Even before I knew Yoga in this life, I was into that kind of thing.

For me, life has been interesting and entertaining, and I'm interested and curious about what's going to happen each day.

I just think that the reality of life is impermanence. That's the foundation of understanding what Yoga is, and we're here for however long we're here, and then it's over. And I've known this since I was a kid.

I have projects in life that I'm engaged in, I have things that stimulate me in my life, that make me happy. But more interesting for me is: I'm still trying to figure it out.

There must be something here for me to get or to share or to do. So I have the duty that I do, the dharma that I do - which I love - with my teaching, with my family, my son, my students, my girlfriend.
