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'.

Compassion is fierce and strong, and it holds people accountable. But it doesn't do it with anger or judgment.

As products of our highly competitive and specialized society, with all its ladders and ceilings, neat compartments, titles, and categories, to remain in an expanded state can feel like swimming upstream.

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 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.

I believe that yoga should lead us to a place where kindness and compassion are instantaneous.

Living your yoga is not just doing it, but being it.
