"The success of yoga does not lie in the ability to perform the postures but in how is positively changes the way we live our life and our relationships." - T. K. V. Desikachar Ever since I began to broaden my yoga education, Desikachar's written words have resonated the most in my life. The above quote reminds us that yoga is much, much more than just poses...

- Anonymous No one likes being the most ignorant person in the room, but it's also quite boring being the smartest person in the room. Finding yourself somewhere in between is key. It's a place that supports continuous learning and growth. It's the place where you can thrive. This means you will always be wobbling between "unaware" and "more aware".

"I saw the angel in the marble, and carved until I set him free." - Michelangelo Another one of my favorite quotes, because it facilitates deep thought (and I had to read it twice to understand it). It almost sounds like a backwards story, doesn't it? Usually things do not exist until they exist, but in Michelangelo's case, the angel in the marble existed before it existed. Know what I'm saying?

"For an impenetrable shield, stand inside yourself." - Henry David Thoreau A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about the boundaries or "fences" we build over time around the life we choose to live every day. These fences protect us from fear, pain, discomfort or anything we want to avoid. We all have some kind of shield in front of us. It's okay to have these shields because it's natural to want to protect ourselves, but I think it's important to recognize they exist. Are there things you don't talk about, places you won't go back to, situations you avoid on a daily basis, experiences you are afraid to try (...right?).

I saw this quote the other day...
"As we begin to get more connected to our soul, we spontaneously begin to find ourselves in a different place in the world, and in our lives...because we are being led by a deeper field of Intelligence than just the doubting mind. What's leading you?" - Rod Stryker ...and it struck a chord with me...  Beginning a yoga practice can be daunting. The idea that flexibility is a pre-requisite often stops many people from stepping into a yoga class. It is difficult in general to start any new practice, whether it's yoga, a new sport or hobby. We all start from a relative place of inexperience and inability. Like anything else, if we push into something too fast, we succumb to a higher risk of injury, frustration and failure. These same principles apply to yoga. By starting out slow and easy, progression and change will happen faster, and it will be safer for your body!
