Taking time out each day to relax and renew is essential to living well.

Compassion is the litmus test.

I believe we are capable of great things.

I believe myself capable of great things. Some days it feels as if I can't do it alone. It is nice to know I don't have to.

You can't make yourself be compassionate, you can only keep stepping back and becoming a larger container in which compassion wants to live. The practice should open us up, and crack open our hearts again and again.

What you want to get as a teacher is not an email or a Facebook post that says, 'I learned so much about headstands in your class'. What you want to get is 'I learned so much about myself and my life in your class'.

I don't think we find compassion. I think we become the space that compassion wants to live in.
