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

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.

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

I think it's possible for all of us to use our yoga to distract us from our yoga. Because we get so caught up in the form that we forget the soul.

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

Compassion is the litmus test.
