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.

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

You're working yourself till late at night, and sleeping crazy with deadlines - you're doing it for a reason.

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 studied Sanskrit for many years, and I've got all the coursework for my Ph.D. And a lot of what's going on in American Yoga is just made-up stuff. Smart people, even good people, Western therapists, Yoga therapists and other things, Western healthcare practitioners who love Asana and say, "Let's make up yoga therapy."

Our job with our digestion is to absorb nutrients and eliminate waste, and to not dwell on the waste - which is my issue with some of the pop American psychology masquerading as Yoga, by the way.
