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.

Yoga is about life, this means all of life, not just part of it.

It's vital to understand that while you are alive, there is no end to desire, since the seed of your every thought and your every action is a desire.

In the end, yoga for me is all about three things: more joy; being able to collect your capacity so you can have more of what you want in real terms; and ultimately - this may be the most important of it all - less fear.

When it comes to desire, it's not a matter of avoiding desire, but rather learning to discern those desires that are helpful and necessary for your growth - those that serve your soul and help you continue to thrive - from those that do not.

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

I am passionate about learning to most fully embody the spark that is the source of life, the hidden glory of the Creator.
