It's deep passion for my wife that really makes me vulnerable to her.
Become better listeners. Practice the art of listening in everything you do. Not just listening to yourself and your body, but listening to the people around you, listening to the plant world, the animal world. Really open your ears to what's coming at you. From there, see if you can have the ability to respond instead of react. And that usually comes with listening. If the observation and the listening are deep, then your action will be deep also.
What we're trying to do in yoga is to create a union, and so to deepen a yoga pose is to actually increase the union of the pose, not necessarily put your leg around your head.
Philosophy is unbelievably inspiring to me.
Yoga is the method to bring or uncover the union that exists. That all things are relative and are in relationship and that nothing is singular or by itself.
Well-crafted things inspire me, whether it's pottery or art or music.
I have been curious about the mind and body for as long as I can remember. I was a gymnast, a ballet dancer, and a philosophy and physical therapy major. Following the thread of curiosity about mind and body, I took my first yoga class in 1980 and knew from the start that it would be a lifelong passion.
The most important pieces of equipment you need for doing yoga are your body and your mind.
Listen deeply. Meditate on that which is arising. Even if it's boredom or difficulty or maybe a feeling of being stuck, that in itself can be the work for your practice.
There's so much fear running our lives that we forget to be human when it really counts.
Yoga is an ancient discipline in which physical postures, breath practice, meditation, and philosophical study are tools for achieving liberation. In my interpretation, achieving liberation in yoga means learning how to be present with everything that arises, whether it is pain or pleasure, sadness or joy, failure or success. And to be present with whatever arises, I believe we must not only be aware of what is arising but we must also be able to see all things that arise as equal, with detachment.
Yoga is the methodology with which to unveil the miracle that exists right in front of our faces and inside ourselves.
Meditation is a silent way of looking at resistance. You're not running away from it
you're sitting with the resistance ... basically you're trying to follow the resistance. And I think that's very interesting.
Teaching is really a natural extension of one's practice
one wants to share something that's so influential and beautiful in one's life.
As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless.
Any doorway that leads you to a deeper understanding of who you are is worthwhile.
Yoga answers a lot of physical problems such as back pain, stress issues, and any kind of joint problems or illnesses. Even more important is the spiritual questioning that comes up around our middle years. We wonder what do I want to hand down to my children, and how do I want to spend my days on this earth? I think yoga begins to help us look at what our passions and our dreams are. And it helps give us the courage once we find passion to actually pursue that!
That's exactly how it is in yoga. The places where you have the most resistance are actually the places that are going to be the areas of the greatest liberation.
