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.

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.

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

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 think I've always had a pretty good time in life. I mean, I've had major trouble, and major brain surgeries, and challenges in relationships - like anyone else - but overall, when I wake up in the morning, and I'm aware, I'm like, "Ok. What's happening today? What's next?"

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

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