Looking back, I see that I was born with the subtle sense that material treasures alone, no matter how grand, would never be enough to satisfy the longing in my heart to see the light, to know the truth.

There is this expectation that as January 1st dawns, we're going to do it differently. Moreover, there's this kind of pressure, that even if I've been trying to be different for a while, January 1st, from here on in - I have to be different. There's a cultural expectation, there's a personal expectation. I think it's worth just taking pause for a minute and talking about that.

Your soul is boundlessly impassioned and always prepared to impart to you whatever you need to thrive.

The yoga tradition asserts that lasting happiness is dependent on prospering both materially and spiritually.

Yoga’s supreme objective is to awaken an exalted state of spiritual realization, yet the tradition also teaches you how to live and how to shape your life with a commanding sense of purpose, capacity, and meaning. In the end, yoga has less to do with what you can do with your body and more to do with the happiness that unfolds from realizing your full potential.

There is no doubt that the foundation of being a great yoga teacher is being a great yoga student.

Do yoga in order to know what to do when you're not doing yoga.
