Our attention to each breath keeps us in the now.

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

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.

Why is balance important? From a life lesson standpoint, it's about learning to enjoy yourself without getting the ego involved.

Our attention to each breath keeps us in the now.

That's what yoga teaches: how to be fully present now, no matter the circumstance.

Everything you need to know is right there inside, waiting for you to tap in and discover it, and then hopefully do something about it.
