Yoga is...

Yoga is...

Remember that your work will never proceed in a straight line. As B.K.S. Iyengar says, practice waxes and wanes like the moon. In other words, sometimes it's very strong and we go forward by leaps and bounds. Other times things seem to come to a complete standstill or even go backward. As I've mentioned, it's at these times, when we seem to be sliding back down the hill, that our commitment to the works faces its greatest test.

The Modern Yogi: [mod-ern · yoh-gee] noun, (plural, mod·ern yo·gis) Someone who regularly practices yoga, and sometimes meets friends for a glass of wine right after class. She’s innovative, up-for-anything and can transition seamlessly from chanting to Ganesha to shopping for a new pair of boots. She loves her family, her friends and yoga pants that conceal the fact that she doesn’t know how to enjoy dark chocolate in moderation (especially when there’s sea salt involved!). She’s devotional, but not a saint. She’s always down to try a new juice cleanse, or chickpea recipe, and then she’ll probably instagram or tweet all about it. She is always on the hunt for new ways to infuse her days with inspiration and put a little east in her west.
