My yoga practice, I do it because when I get on my mat, I know I'm going to be transformed. I know that whatever stresses are in my life or whatever worries I have or whatever monkey mind is happening for me, when I get off the mat, I'm going to be transformed.

My parents said sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you. But I always felt a sense of exhilaration after a fight; it was the names that really hurt me.

The times when I feel not alive is when I feel stifled, when I feel like the emotion that's in me is not coming out. I'm too busy, too hectic. I'm serving my iPhone more than my spirit. Those are the times I feel bad.

I was adopted when I was a baby. My mother carried me for nine months and she held me for one hour, and didn't see me again.

You learn a lot when you're barefoot. The first thing is every step you take is different.

The personal revolution is far more difficult, and is the first step in any revolution.

Be who you are, nothing more... nothing less.
