Yoga is the method to bring or uncover the union that exists. That all things are relative and are in relationship and that nothing is singular or by itself.

Listen deeply. Meditate on that which is arising. Even if it's boredom or difficulty or maybe a feeling of being stuck, that in itself can be the work for your practice.

Well-crafted things inspire me, whether it's pottery or art or music.

Train yourself to be in awe of the subtle, and you will live in a world of beauty and ease.

Philosophy is unbelievably inspiring to me.

What we're trying to do in yoga is to create a union, and so to deepen a yoga pose is to actually increase the union of the pose, not necessarily put your leg around your head.

I have been curious about the mind and body for as long as I can remember. I was a gymnast, a ballet dancer, and a philosophy and physical therapy major. Following the thread of curiosity about mind and body, I took my first yoga class in 1980 and knew from the start that it would be a lifelong passion.
