Waking up in the morning isn't a choice, you know.

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

When I was twenty, and my family were business people, and I had disappeared to India and they were like, "What are you doing?" I had a good relationship with them, and it wasn't like a rejection or anything, but they couldn't understand why I was going to India.

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.

It's going to be over fairly soon; it goes by quick. Even if I live till I'm one hundred, it's quick.

I'm in a body, and when my sleep ends, I'm awake. I don't really understand the... that's not really a choice. I mean unless I chose to stay in bed, but I'd still be awake.

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