Teaching yoga is the only thing I can do. I can't imagine not doing it. I love it because I believe in it.

Yoga is more a state than a methodology. A state where there is nothing missing. You don't feel like you have to grab this or grab that in order to be complete or full. From wringing out the body and the mind, from sitting in meditation, from studying scripture, from selfless service.

I can honestly say, I have the love of my life, and we have the most amazing children.

I feel vulnerable every single time I step into a classroom. I feel completely exposed.

Allow beauty and sadness to touch you. This is love, not fear.

Seeing what was needed in the hospital firsthand - someone needs to come in and just be with patients, without trying to take their blood or change the bedpan, and to give them human-to-human touch.

The system is broken. The doctors and the nurses can't do everything. The patients need human attention the patients themselves need to be addressed, rather than just their disease.

Vulnerability is a wonderful tool for awakening and for learning and for growing and for connecting.
