Believing in yourself is essential to creating lasting change and a happy life.

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

Each movement reminds us that every moment invites a new opportunity for change.

Go after what gives you goosebumps.

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.

You take yourself out of the moment and knock yourself off balance when you judge and think about what you are doing, rather than experiencing and enjoying what you are doing.

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