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

Learning to savor the moment keeps us from living in constant worry and fear and tension over things that haven't happened yet and may never come to pass. Practicing yoga helps us to undo these bad mental habits and stress triggers that we often unknowingly pick up along the way.

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

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

You can fall out of a tree pose with ease, or with frustration and a sense of defeat. Just like you can take a spill in your life and decide to dust yourself off - with a chuckle or an annoyed grunt - and get back up, or you can stay down, lie there, and give up. It's entirely up to you. It's your life, and your practice.

There are no rules in life. It’s a mind-set that limits people dramatically.

When we practice paying attention, whether in meditation, yoga (moving mediation), or simply walking down the street, we can choose to be at ease, or choose to be tense. It's a choice, and that choice is up to no one but us to decide.
