The most important pieces of equipment you need for doing yoga are your body and your mind.

Philosophy is unbelievably inspiring to me.

Coming to Haramara is like coming home. My body returns to the earth, my mind mesmerized by the rhythms of the ocean and my spirit flies in this magical place. Yoga is a way of life and Haramara Retreat is where we can re-educate ourselves to live in balance.

When someone's really sick and their family is tired and concerned about what will take place, those are the times that they need a support group around them to take care of them as a human being.

When you stand in the present moment, you are timeless.

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.

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.
