My degree was in Depth Psychology and Religion, so I can really speak directly about pop American psychology masquerading as Yoga.

What I like the best is when I can be still and not move.

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.

We all have a dark side, and we have to confront our dark side. That's pop American psychology.

The thing that I do in my day-to-day is teach Yoga, and train teachers, and train therapists, and now my life has gone to a whole other level because I became involved with people at the very top of American healthcare.

Why I wake up in the morning is that I'm still alive, and I want to figure out whatever I can before it's over.

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.
