"The most profound benefit of yoga and meditation for me has been a natural relaxing into my life. Obstacles are not so scary. I am more fluid, more curious, and at the same time more patient. I have more options for happiness because I don't require specific conditions. It is a relief to discover that I can be happy even if the world doesn't revolve around me or my agenda."
"Rather than allowing our response to an even affect our breathing, we can learn instead to let our breathing change our relationship to the event."
"See if you can approach your own practice with a healthy combination of mindfulness, playfulness, precision, and curiosity"
"Yoga is not about touching your toes. It's about unlocking your ideas about what you want, where you think you can go, and how you will achieve it when you get there."
"Everything we're doing is planting a seed that will come to fruition at some point"
