We
each have within us unlimited potential
that practicing yoga helps us to become aware of,
appreciate, and realize.
Everyday there are events occuring
that remind us of our potential
and what we can accomplish
when we train and practice
with patience, tenacity, and consistency.
Recognizing and respecting our limits
but also understanding that our limits
are dynamic and not static...
that properly formed intentions
energized and made manifest
through action move us toward balance
where our potential may be more fully realized.
Whether we are focusing on our breath
and fully present in the moment practicing yoga
or living our busy lives,
we are on a wonderful journey of acceptance and discovery.

"Each
practice session is a journey. Endeavor to move with
with awareness. Allow it to unfold as a flower opens. There
is no benefit in hurrying. Yoga grows with time. Some days are
easy and the mind is calm and the physical body is light and
responsive. Other days you may find that the mind is running
wild and the body feels like wet cement. We must breath
deeply and remain detached. The asanas are not the goal.
They are the vehicle to access a deeper internal awareness.
...Yoga is a place of refuge and a soothing balm for the
stresses of modern life. Within each practice find ways
to refine your existing understanding so that you can continue
to grow...yoga is a scenic journey to our deepest spirit.
