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

Do not look for joy anywhere else. It is living in you, and gives meaning to all Existence.

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

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'.

The time to recognize the power of community is here again. Not as some romanticized renaissance from times past, but as a necessarily new and innovative response to "life as it is offering itself to us."

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.

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