Eat like you love yourself. Move like you love yourself. Speak like you love yourself. Act like you love yourself.

All the body's systems and processes - your nerves, your emotions - take instruction from what is going on with your breath.

A successful tree pose probably won't change your life. Learning how to keep your breath easy, long, and deep no matter what the circumstance? That absolutely will.

External means of escape like alcohol, drug use, and even overeating are a means of pushing uncertainty away and covering it up temporarily. And they may feel comforting for a moment, but I don't need to tell you that eventually they will cause more trouble than they ever solve.

What you practice on the mat is what you end up doing in your life.

Eat like you love yourself. Move like you love yourself. Speak like you love yourself. Act like you love yourself.

The practice of being at ease also gives you the strength and stamina to pursue all that you find when you connect inward.
